Seduced by Wild Goose
I was eager to taste the Wild Goose IPA, which is brewed by the Frederick Brewing Company in Frederick Maryland, as I thoroughly enjoyed their SnowGoose seasonal awhile back. Much like the SnowGoose, I was once again, astonished.
This light gold beer poured with a slight white head that quickly disappeared to reveal a pleasantly hoppy essence with few bubbles. The taste was incredibly crisp and refreshing with smooth hints of hops and citrus. The finish was highly complementary with a smoothness that reminds me of the nectars produced by the Anchor Brewing Company. This is a highly impressive showing- the IPA is worthy of a tasting any day.

Good call! I’ve been a fan of the Wild Goose since it was brewed on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I am now back in Maryland after spending 5 years in the beer paradise of Portland, Oregon and I am glad to have a local beer that makes the grade.
Cheers!

[…] If the beer has been labeled a lager, I may have just described it as a watery lager and left it at that. But, because of the IPA sobriquet, I’m left utterly disappointed and once again reaffirmed in my belief that only one beer can be purchased in can and that on the large part, Canadian beer must be brewed incorrectly. If you are Canadian, give a Wild Goose IPA a try and you’ll see my point. […]
