Goose Experimental Ale - Goose Island Beer Co. - Beer of the Day.

Goose Experimental Ale pours a orange/amber color with medium carbonation and light tan-colored head. The aroma consists of caramel malts and a slight hop. The taste is similar to the smell with a strong caramel malt base flavor with a well-balanced pine hop in the aftertaste. This is similar to Goose's Autumn Ale, but is actually a tamer, more accessible version of the beer despite the 'Experimental' label.

This is a Budweiser product and not a craft beer at all. Budweiser sold out in 2008 to Inbev which means the corporate profits go to Belgium and Brazil, not America. It is a thin excuse for an IPA, good aroma but the body is absent.
