Been trying to catch up on some things after getting home so I'm a bit late getting this stuff up, but here it is. I've had the Goose Island IPA before, but decided to wait until I had it on tap at the brewery to review. It has always been a favorite of mine, but it was even better being so fresh. Pours a hazy reddish copper with a nice sized head that left beautiful streaks of lacing down the glass while drinking. Aroma was very delightful to the nose, with citrus nodes being mixed with roasted hops. Pretty standard scents for an IPA, but nothing too much on either end. Taste was citrusy at first, followed by some delicious roasted hops that had a nice bitterness. Mouthful was medium with a good amount of carbonation. Its not an IPA loaded with crazy citrus flavors or tons of hops, but its almost perfectly balanced between the two. This balance makes it a very drinkable beer for IPA lovers and one of my top 3 favorite IPAs of all time. Great job done by Goose Island.
