my wife picked up a 6 pack of goose island mild winter ale at hy-vee last week and i tried one today, didn’t seem to have much flavor , pretty bland. i looked at the freshness date,said it would be fresh 180 days past date on bottle. the date was 10/12 :o they must have pulled it out of the sotreroom from last year. if it weren’t 150 miles back to the store i would take it back.
Maybe call goose island and tell the story. See if they hook you up.
