The Goose On The Loose IPL has been created by US-based craft brewery Goose Island Beer Co in partnership with Aldi in the UK to offer consumers a crisp, fruity and refreshing new libation to try.
The India Pale Lager (IPL) is brewed in the UK, and dry-hopped with Mosaic, Cascade and Amarillo to convey peachy, piny and malty biscuit notes on the nose. The beer promises to deliver a crisp yet fruity flavor profile that's perfect for enjoyment on its own or with a variety of different fare. The beer is arriving at participating Aldi locations nationwide for £1.29 per can while supplies last.
Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK Julie Ashfield spoke on the Goose On The Loose IPL saying, "Partnering with Goose Island Beer supports our mission to work with the best suppliers. Not only is the Goose Island team passionate about craft beer, but they are also committed to delivering the kind of flavoursome lager our customers want and expect.”
