Goose Island Sofie.


80% Belgian-style ale, 20% Belgian-style ale aged in wine barrels with orange peel.

Given its young age (bottled July 17), I wasn't sure what to expect. In short, it's a Hoegaarden. Spicy nose, very frothy head, light body. The barrel-aged ale comes through clear. It's not bad now but a few years in the bottle (good sediment at the bottom), and I bet it'd be awesome.
