I ended up trying this particular brew with a random dinner at home. Goose Island (http://www.gooseisland.com) was recently purchased by InBev, and everyone hopes that the formula for their beers are not tampered with. Everyone else is hoping that these up and coming microbreweries don't sell out It was poured into a pilsner glass. Ended up getting a white one finger head with low retention and not much lacing either. The brew had a slightly hazy, golden color. I could detect aromas of cracker and wheat, some light hop presence and lemon. Not much else I could discern.
The predominant taste is wheat and malt, with the a lemony hop finish at the end. A little on the weak side. Thought flavors would be a little more pronounced. Light bodied with high carbonation, it's very appropriate as a sessionable brew. Still, I find it to be rather ordinary and would favor Bell's Oberon over this one. Agree? Disagree? Let me know.
