After a large disappointment with a bottle of Svyturys Ekstra, I needed some bitterness to counter the sweetness from the Lithuanian lager.<br /><br />Goose Island IPA was a great choice, and its bitterness cleared my palate. I did feel some hints of citrus aromas this time around, but the big difference was the taste. There was a lot of grapefruit, and I enjoyed it very much.Beer Sagashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647662165660292549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561003469412579889.post-27394768792720478472010-02-13T09:42:17.883+01:002010-02-13T09:42:17.883+01:00I guess I need to try out Goose Island IPA once ag...I guess I need to try out Goose Island IPA once again this weekend. I really enjoyed the beer, but I did not feel the citrus notes and aromas.<br /><br />There were also other American IPAs at Vinmonopolet, and I will try others in the nearest future.Beer Sagashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647662165660292549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561003469412579889.post-63699782154793582052010-02-12T23:06:20.341+01:002010-02-12T23:06:20.341+01:00Goose Island IPA is a great beer, in my humble opi...Goose Island IPA is a great beer, in my humble opinion. I think it was the first American IPA that I'd tried, too, and boy did it set a benchmark. Of course there's load out there that are more hoppy, but it's just got such a nice balance. <br /><br />Surprised you got no aroma or bitterness though. I think it shoves out masses of citrus-like aroma and has a hugely solid grapefruit-like bitterness. Mmmmm, American C hops :DBarry Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367655129107699025noreply@blogger.com
