Wild Goose Brown Lager

Brewed by Wild Goose LLC (Flying Dog)
Style: American Dark Lager
Frederick, Maryland USA

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark brown color with a trace of a khaki head that faded quickly. The aroma was tangy, malty and had light fruity hops - though a bit off. The flavor was bitter, sharp, roasty and dry with a tangy dry finish. Unimpressive.

Very light, almost watery, nutty malt backbone. Light wood bits and a stale hop presence. Eh.

This one poured with a dark opaque brown color as expected and a short lived head. The mouthfeel was a little chalky like a Guiness. Not real impressed with this goose.

mediocre, had some nice qualities but otherwise it was just okay. A murky look brown hue with a fast fading brown head. Aroma was somewhat nutty with other base malt notes. Flavor had some bitterness to it but otherwise it was meh. Somewhat carbonated.

Dark brown appearance with a small beige head and a decent amount of lacing. Subtle, roasted malt aroma akin to a schwarzbier. Taste is caramel malts with moderate bitterness from the noble type hop profile. Medium bodied, nicely carbonated mouthfeel, with an average length finish.

BOTMC Selection, November 2008: Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a clear, brown body with a slight hint of red, topped by a small, quickly diminishing head of foam, with some light lacing. Aroma is the pleasing scent of roasted malts and coffee. Flavor is dry, with a slight bitter finish. Carbonation is crisp and not overpowering. Palate is not complex and is comprised mostly of roasted malt. This beer had a better aroma than it’s over flavor profile, but it wasn’t bad.

not a bad brew, has a nice creamy body, bit of a roast element too it.

Not very impressed. Nice looking though. Aroma is lite. A bit of malt and bread. Malt flavor with a dry finish. A metallic taste finds it’s way in the end. A little watery.
