It's a shame about the bottle in the following picture, but that's what humidity does to things. A wonderful beer deserves a wonderful picture, and unfortunately it did not get what it deserves.
Brewery: Goose Island
Country: USA (Illinois)
Style: Belgian Style Farmhouse Ale / Saison
ABV: 6.5
IBUs: 25
Serving Size: 22oz bottle
Cost: $7
Appearance: Bright golden yellow color. Pours a nice creamy head that lasts for a good amount of time. Very hazy and opaque. Plenty of carbonation as well.
Aroma: Very pleasing sour smell of citrus fruits and spices. Light smell of the hops are noticeable too, but with such a low IBU it is hard to taste.
Taste: This is a very tasty saison. Wonderful crisp citrus tastes that turn into a very malty aftertaste, with a slight sour pinch at the end. You can taste the alcohol in this one as well, but it isn't as detectable as it is in some of the other Belgian-Style Ales.
Drinkability: Sofie is a very light and refreshing Belgian-Style Ale. With its crisp citrus flavors and light body, I could easily drink a few on a warm summer evening. Just like this one!
Verdict: If you like saisons - or any refeshing ale - I recommend trying Sofie. It is really good.
