Goose Island IPA (pack of 15) (35.5cl, 5.9%)

A 15-pack of 12 oz cans of India Pale Ale from Goose Island Beer Company in Chicago, brewed at 5.9% ABV. The beer uses Cascade, Centennial, Pilgrim and Styrian Celeia hops, combining American citrus and floral character with a subtle spicy, woody backbone from the European varieties. The aroma is dominated by grapefruit and citrus peel, with pine resin, soft floral notes and a faint tropical undercurrent. The palate is bright and citrus-forward, with grapefruit, clean malt sweetness, building hop bitterness and medium body with light, crisp carbonation. The finish is moderately long, with pronounced hoppy bitterness, grapefruit rind and sweet malt, drying cleanly.
