Goose Island: Honker's Ale (English Bitter) 4.2%

Drank From: bottle, poured into a pint glass


Honker's pours cloudy light copper with one finger of head that is fleeting. It smells pretty strong of hops with a little malt. The taste is very crisp and bitter up front and, as stated on the bottle, this is "a perfect balance of malt and hops." I would say that the amount of malt is actually more than I remember from previous tastings. This beer is a solid easy drinker. And they got rid of the twist-off cap! Thank goodness.


My Rating: B+/3.95
