Goose Island Honker's Ale:
Greetings once and future kings and queens and welcome to a review of beer, that elixir from the spirits themselves.  The beer in the spotlight today is Goose Island’s Honker’s Ale which is English Bitter Brown beer and is art fully grafted on an island full of geese (which can’t smell all that good).  The beer pours a nice light amber color with a nice thin white head that leaves a good lacing inside the glass and a nose of roasted malts a touch of hops that add some bitterness to it.  The initial taste is very hop filled up front with the taste moving to a more caramel and roasted flavor on the mid-tongue and a nice, dry hop finish.  This a nice beer, very drinkable at 4.2% ABV and for being a amber beer, it isn’t heavy at all.  Again with Goose Island, it’s a shame that it has such a limited distribution range which, with luck, will hopefully increase in time, but for now it’s enjoyed as a rare treat in the rotation.
