• Goose Island Pere Jacques

  One more Goose Island, A Belgian style ale, one of the 4 Goose Island Reserves Reviewed here and then I’m pretty sure were done with them for a while around here. If not, someone will die ;-) At least the good thing about the Reserves is they all don’t taste like a poor flavored 312.
