Goofy

Tap to rate

Chocolate and caramel lead in this smooth, malty brown ale, with a hint of roasted sweetness and a deep, toasty character. The bitterness stays subtle, and a touch of citrusy freshness rounds out the malt depth. Goofy is part of Gamma's flagship range, the core beers the brewery has brewed year-round in larger batches since 2021.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Goofy

◎ Appearance

Deep copper-brown color with excellent clarity and a warm, inviting glow. The head forms a dense, caramel-toned foam that clings to the glass with good retention, leaving a fine Schaumkleiden as the beer is consumed. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and malty, with chocolate and caramel flavors forming the core palate. Mid-palate sustains the roasted sweetness with subtle nutty and bready undertones, while bitterness remains deliberately restrained at 24 IBU, allowing the malt sweetness to dominate. A whisper of citrus brightness cuts through the depth on the back palate.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and warming, with lingering chocolate and toasty notes tapering to a dry, malt-driven aftertaste. The citrusy accent provides a crisp closing that prevents any sense of heaviness.
