| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 28, 2009 Draft at Blue Agave in Belleville, IL. Quite light on the palate. Starts with a mildly hoppy aroma and has a taste that finishes with a vague taste of green grape. Overall, not a bad beer. I’d definitely go with one on a hot afternoon, but I feel there are better Goose Island products. Headbanger (1592), Aurora, Illinois, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 13, 2009 From a bomber purchased from the Wrigleyville Brew Pub. It poured a crystal-clear yellow with a small, fizzy white head. The aroma was strongly of floral hops and a little grassy. Taste was a little bitter with a lot of the same floralness that I detected upon smelling. Overall, a pretty good beer, not exactly my style, but pretty good. drpimento (842), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 7, 2009 ! Pretty good effort!! Poured with a medium sized white foamy, frothy head and plenty of lace. Color is a hazy amber. Aroma is just the way the brewery describes it. Citrus of orange and grapefruit with a non-citrus note of pineapple. Flavor’s the same with enough bitterness to balance the fruitiness and leave a clean balance perspective. Great finish. Session beer. Supposedly only available in Chicago. Got this one at Sam’s down there. deyholla (716), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
