#214 Goose Island - Kilgubbin Red Ale
Goose Island is a Brewery based in Chicago, a town famous for their St. Patrick's Day celebration, to the point of dying their river green.
This beer has a malty grain aroma, smells like a bowl of dry malt. The color is red as expected and clear. The head is very thin, barely noticeable.
The taste of this beer very malty. There is a light roast, grain, almost tea flavor to this beer. This beer tastes like a tea made with fresh grain seeped in hot water. This beer is dry, with almost no sweetness. There is some bitterness from hops, but no other sign of hops. The mouthfeel is thin with some tingling carbonation feeling. The finish still tastes like grain.
This isn't a very good beer, I am not crazy about all the grain flavor. I would also like a bit of hops, but I always want more hops. I won't be seeking out this beer next St. Patrick's day.
