Where does this wonder beer come from?
The Goose IPA, born in the heart of Chicago, is a product of the iconic Goose Island brewery. If you have ever wondered how the motto ‘British American Beer’ sounds, here you have it in liquid form. With 5.9% of alcohol by volume (ABV) and 55 IBU, this IPA will make you feel as if you are enjoying the best of classics, but with a touch of American madness.
The journey of the senses: tasting notes
Appearance: an ocher that shines
Imagine a golden glass with octaceous flashes, a clear beauty that invites you to be tested. Carbonation is a feast for the eyes, with dance bubbles that form a whitish foam, almost as if I wanted to make a wink before you try it.
Aroma: a fruit hug
The first sip can be misleading, because before your first tasting, your nostrils will be wrapped in an hug of aromas that goes from maleded candies to a touch of orange and a soft handle. With the nose in the cup, you will experience a crescendo of peach notes that invite a second, and perhaps, a third smell.
Taste: a balanced symphony
The taste is a balance masterpiece. An initial explosion of citric character is mixed with slight sweet grain profiles and a touch of honey that caresses you the palate. Then, a firm bitterness makes its appearance, first subtle, then bold, taking the taste to a persistent end that asks you to repeat.
Mouth sensation: cream and bubbling
With an average body and a texture that touches the creamy, Goose Ipa will make your tongue dance with its active carbonation. The slight itching that leaves in each sip feels like a affectionate joke between friends.
MAIDAJES: THE IDEAL PARTY
The versatility of Goose IPA makes it an excellent plate companion. From juicy ribs to a peach dessert, this IPA knows how to enhance each bite.
Strong dishes: a perfect duet
Its vibrant bitterness perfectly complements dishes such as pork ribs with BBQ. The interaction between the smoked and sweet flavors of the glaze and the hops of the beer … Why not? There is nothing like a good party in the mouth.
Cheese? Let the Cheddar come!
The Cheddar Añejo and the Curado Gouda are the soul of the party. The creamy and intense textures of these cheeses make a harmonious duo with the Malta de Caramelo de Goose Ipa, achieving a perfect balance.
Vegetarian surprises
Do not forget the vegetarian dishes. A Thai chickpea curry will fly your expectations, with the freshness of beer by enhancing the spicy and complex flavors.
Desserts: The ideal end
A peach crumble? Yes please! The sweetness and crispy dessert texture combine wonderful with the fruit notes of Goose Ipa, creating a perfect ending that will surely steal hearts.
The balanced beer you should try
Often, Goose IPA is underestimated as a mere American version of a classic style. But, don’t even think about giving less credit! This beer achieves an exquisite balance and has its own identity. Perfect to enjoy it fresh and in good company, Goose Ipa is ready to cheer up your day or, better yet, your night.
