Commercial Description:
Our latest creation is brewed in the style of a traditional American Extra Special Bitter (ESB). As Summertime fades, the sun shines less bright, and evening comes a little sooner. Harvest time arrives – it’s a time to reap the benefits of a great Summer. Fresh picked cascade hops from Washington and the richest Midwestern malts makes Goose Island Harvest Ale an extra special beer worthy of your devotion.

12oz bottle pours dark amber with a short creamy offwhite head that stayed pretty well. Aromas of caramel, toffee, toasted malts, and a fair amount of citrus and spice. Flavor is lots of toffee, caramel, and toasted malts, a fair amount of citrus and spice from the well balanced hops too. Nice and smooth throughout with an almost creamy mouthfeel. I thought this was pretty nice.

Bottle at home ... brown ... thin white lacing ... sweet bright hop ... over fizzy ... sweet summer fruits ... quite hoppy ... but very very light fruity... ok but not really hitting the spot.

Botle 35,5 cl. Pours a clear amber with a creamy off-white head. Lovely citrusy hops. Medium body, very dry fruitiness but completely dominated by the citrusy hops. Nice one but so much not an ESB! 151109

12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a fully gone head. Aroma is grapefruity hoppy, light spiced. Caramelish, liqourice, pinewood and slight grapefruity hops. Medium sweet - nicely hops balanced bitter into the finish.

Pours a nice clear amber with a sustained off white head with very nice lacing... Grapefruit scented hops dominate mildly sweet english malts, accentuated by a toffee aroma, though the hop aroma does fade quickly... A quick hit of C hops gives way to a quick hit of the malt followed by a lingering dry finish devoid of a great deal of flavor... Nice beer, but i wish the flavor lingered...

pours a very clear caramel/amber color with a medium light tan head...nice lacing and retention. aroma has subtle citrus...grapefruit and pineapple...and significant maltiness...caramel or toffee. flavor has grapefruity hops with a roasty carsamel malt backing. mouhfeel is a bit watery but is rescues by a biting hoppy dry finish.
