Goose Island 25th Anniversary Ale

Goose Island brews some good beer. That could be the end of the review! In additional to their every day brews like Honker's Ale, the IPA and 312, they have their premium Belgians as well as some fine seasonals  like the ever-changing Christmas Ale and of course, Summertime Kölsch. The anniversary ale is an ESB, Extra Special Bitter, a style which Lincoln beer lovers will recognize as the style in which Luna Sea by Empyrean is brewed. This ale pours a deep bronze with a medium khaki head. Heavy on the malts, but not stinting on the hops. There's an aroma evocative of herbal teas and maybe a little sweet caramel. Overall a good solid beer to add to the grand Goose Island family.
