Wild Goose Brown Lager

The appearance is a deep, dark red color. Glassy but a little murky. Head disappears fast, but leaves a light-brown film. The smell is some crisp, lagery malt aromas. Also a brown-sugar smell as well. Has a nutty quality in the nose, although as it warms it turns a little musty. Average. The taste is the combo of a sweet, brown sugary flavor, mixed with a crisp, slightly sweet lager malt. Very close to a British ale, as sugary as it is. The feel is creamy and fizzy. Not a watery lager. Smooth on the way down. It’s sugary, like a sweet, British beer. Average.

Pours brown with a tan head. Smells of earth, caramel, some spicy hints. Tastes earthy and sweet with a hint of bitterness on the finish.

sampler pack Minimal, non-offensive odor. Deep brown chestnut color. Not quite opaque, but pretty close. Mellow dark malt flavors with a smooth sugary finish. Mild hop balancing, no real stand out characteristics. Very easy drinking with a pleasant body

Overall Impression: Generously, I’ll call this a half decent brown, dull flavors, slightly malty, not much there...

bottle from trazdogg. pours brown. slightly bitter. nutty, smooth. not terribly impressive

Very dark brown, nice foamy beige head. Kind of nutty aroma, and fairly toasty. Lightly charred flavor, some understated sweet notes. Not horrible.

Nice brown color with no head. Aroma is baked bread, and nuts. Taste is the same plus honey and caramel. Dry finish. I’m not enjoying this.

Beer of the month. Tasty dark lager. All you nut lovers will enjoy this. I do think it’s pretty cool that the club sends beers like this that only have a few dozen ratings. I’m sure I would never have tasted this beer otherwise.
