Wild Goose Amber

Style: Amber Ale
Frederick, Maryland USA

I agree with the description of a full malty body, but I don’t think this beer is being honest when it claims to have a robust hop flourish. There is a lot to like about the malt, but little in the area of hops. A decent pour and a good beer, but nothing to rave about.

Bottle. Poured a small off-white head that mostly diminished, sparse lacing, fine-small sized bubbles, carbonated, transparent, and a copper hue. Aroma was malty, caramel and hoppy. Flavor was malty, hoppy and dry. Tingly, dry palate. Light body.

Bottle. Found this at a party store that had very little to offer craft beer wise. $4.99 a sixpack. Poured a nice rich red brown with a decent head that stuck around a bit. Sweet roasted caramel aroma, some hops. Nice mouthfeel. A rich beer. Sweet caramel with a hoppy bite. Smooth. I was not expecting this to be half as good as it was.

This bottled brew poured a small sized head of frothy fine to medium sized off-white colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a fair lacing and a hazy light brown colored body. The aroma was mildly malty with mild hop caramel and brown beer notes. The mouth feel was mildly tingly and smooth with a mild hop note. The flavor was nice and drinkable. A fairly good amber ale. It had a mild malty caramel hop flavor. As a seemingly contradictory note, my notes also showed it to be lacking in complexity and diversity, but this review reads otherwise. Perhaps I was just wishing for more.

bottled, it has very small head and somewhat malty aroma. it’s smooth and easy to drink.

$1.49 for a 12-oz single. Pretty amber color, but no head. Very light maltiness in the nose... not much of an aroma at all. Tasty... malty & nutty, with a hint of light chocolatiness. A bit on the sweet side.

Very fresh and clean flavor. I actually found a flavor of sweet honey tea in this beer, kind of like one of those arizona cans. Anyways, it was a refreshing, easy drinkin beer.

Pours beautifully, splashes a nice dark amber, with deserved fanfare and pageantry. Aroma is quite pleasant, as is the taste which is accompanied by a silky smooth palate, usually reserved for more robust beers. I like this one a lot.
