Tasty Tuesday!!!! This weeks first Beer Review!!!!

So last Thursday our Brewmaster had a problem of epic proportions! Apparently in his quest to create the perfect brew of frothy goodness he put a little too much of some magical secret ingredient which made the keg explode into a froth works display of heaven. Unfortunately, this great display of beer showers involved the keg flying straight through his roof. So while the rest of us were enjoying our thirsty Thursday last week our Brewmaster was repairing his home that was damaged by his sole dedication to brewing the perfect brew.  So he decided to bestow on us a review for Tasty Tuesday!!!


Goose Island
Sofie
Belgian Style Ale (2010)
6.4%ABV

I thought it appropriate to review a Goose Island beer before their recent buyout from AB/Inbev changes things too much.  This is a Belgian Style Saison
That is blended with another Barrel Aged Saison brewed with Orange Peel.  

Appearance - A bright golden yellow that is completely clear with a three finger bright white head that lasts and laces throughout the glass.

Smell - Orange/Lemon Zest with a hint of freshly cut grass & just a slight Peppery bite.  

Taste - Light and Sweet with tons of Citrusy notes moving to Pear and Apple in the finish.  A veritable tornado of summer fruit!

Mouthfeel - Slight lingering sweetness and light body with just the perfect amount of carbonation to compliment this beer.

Overall - A wonderfully complex beer, perfect for a hot summer day, here's hoping that AB/Inbev doesn't change it!  Cheers!
