Wild Goose XPA
Beer-a-Day #302 
The Extra Pale Ale is a new addition to the Wild Goose family of English-inspired ales. The XPA’s nose has herbal-like undertones of citrus and pine. A refreshing light to medium-bodied ale with a balanced malt sweetness and spicy, citrus hop character. A clean, crisp finish makes for a great session ale for people who prefer maltier styles.
Five percent may be a bit high for a session beer, but I am glad that Flying Dog kept around the Wild Goose line.
Pretty light amber and clear; head is fizzy and drops fairly quickly. I get some floral and earthy aromas. Flavor is light with a pleasant bitterness without being a tongue-stripper. I could see having a bunch of this, especially at a barbecue.

What do you know? Another winter beer on clearance.
Snow Goose is a Winter Warmer that has become a Mid-Atlantic tradition. Snow Goose pours a clear, deep, rich mahogany with a creamy, off-white head. The aromas are warm, toasty malts and caramel with just a hint of hops. Finishes clean
and dry.

As usually happens once a year or so, my FOAM meeting this month was held at the Flying Dog Brewery in Frederick, Maryland. For the trivial cost of $5 for a glass, I could sample everything they had on tap.
They had a couple of Wild Goose offerings on tap, as well as a large [...]

One of my favorite styles, from one of my favorite brewers. That my homebrew club monthly meeting tomorrow is going to be held at their tasting room is just a bonus.
Dark brown to black with ruby highlights. Nice roasted nuttiness. Smooth, but not too smooth. Good stuff.

This is another one of those beers that I know I can always count on.
It pours a light amber with a white foam head. Medium body, with a nice spicy, citrus from the hops. Very refreshing.

So, I’ve been a member of F.O.A.M. for the last year and a bit. I’m still not brewing as much as I would like*, but they’re a good bunch of guys (and gals) who love to talk about beer and brewing, and would never deign to make fun of anyone still using extracts.
Anyway, last night [...]
