Goose Island Harvest Ale

Amber-orange in appearance with a moderate sized, light-beige colored head. Translucent.

Fruity and hoppy in the nose. Nutty. Notes of cold melon, grapefruit & caramel as it warms. Subtle, but enjoyable in the aroma section.

Bitter, but not too aggressive. Sweetness pulls forward to balance the hops. A touch of caramel malts builds body.

Feels like a pale ale with a maltier backbone. Medium-bodied with a prickly contour.

Notes: Goose Island's Harvest Ale proves not all fall seasonals are sprinkled with pantry spices.
