Goose Island Summertime!
I personally get really excited when this beer is in season and would recommend it to anyone looking for something good to drink on a hot summers day. Now here is what the brewer has to say about this perfect summer beer.
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.
