I have ran into them during nesting season dozens of times, I’ve lived within 2 minutes walk of them for the past 8 years. They hiss if you get close (say within 2m) when they’re nesting or with their goslings, but that’s about it.
The swans in the same lake have been far more aggressive. Those fuckers will hiss, screech, flap their wings, and attack.

Maybe the swans are keeping the geese in line.
