Beer of the Week Blast from the Past: Wild Goose Amber

Beer score: 6.8

The Wild Goose Brewery came about in the late 1980s and did pretty good business for a decade or so, but then in the following decades it went through several changes of ownership. Technically the company still exists, but it is operated by yet another company. Unfortunately, due to all these changes over the decades, some of the Wild Goose beers are no longer available.

And unfortunately, this is one such beer. Fortunately, I still have my notes on it.

This one poured with an amber color and smelled a bit like caramel on buttery bread. It had a strong "red" flavor reminiscent of all those red beers that were popular back in the '90s. Also, there was only the barest hint of carbonation along with more of that caramel flavor.

This one was good enough it could have become a regular drinking beer for anyone with good taste.
