Goose Island Matilda

Goose Island Matilda is a Belgian Strong Pale Ale. Bottled 3/1/2012, aged just over one year. This is nice, I like what the age has done to it. Very biscuit malts are mixing with some fruit flavors, getting notes of apricot and grape. Simple yet flavorful. I hope we start seeing this regularly on our shelves soon. I’ll tell you something, Goose Island does brew some fantastic beer, and as best I can tell none of it comes in a six pack. If you stick to four packs and bombers you are going to be impressed.
