Let us start by saying Goose Island beers are usually ones that we love. While not the only high-quality microbrewery in the Chicagoland area, they're certainly the most well-known (thanks, perhaps in part, to an unholy pact with Annheiser-Busch), being found throughout the Midwest and parts of the east coast.
Goose Island's Harvest Ale, however, falls a little short of our usually-met expectations. It's billed as a "special American bitter," and we suppose that much is true - there is a bitter, hoppy taste that is almost entirely without nuance and the same from the nose to the tail. It's not unpleasant, but there's not much here that would keep us coming back for more after having one or two. Especially when there are so many great autumn seasonals.
Rating: 1.5
5.7% ABV
