Brewmasters Notes:The color of sunshine, with a light fruity aroma and a hint of fruity acidity, Goose Island Summertime is the perfect summer session ale. A Kölsch beer brewed in the traditional German fashion, you’ll find yourself enjoying and savoring each sip of summertime as much as you do those hot summer days and cool summer nights.
Recipe Information:
Style: German Style Kölsch
Alcohol by Volume: 4.7%
International Bitterness Units: 20
Color: Sunshine
Hops: Mt. Hood, Saaz
Malt: 2 Row, Wheat
Appearance: Pours a sunshine yellow color with a 1-1.5 finger soapy head. A few specks of lacing on the glass.
Aroma: Some grainy malt sweetness, lemony hops, and a touch of pine. Not that complex, but not expected for this light bodied lager.
Taste: Some nice crisp lemon and grassy notes that intensified as the beer warmed a bit. Some dry yeast notes in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Light and crisp. Very Refreshing!
Drinkability/Overall: Great summer bbq and or picnic beer. With its mild flavors it wouldn’t overwhelm any foods that you’d pair it with and could be drank before or after a meal. 6/10
