Day 310-Beer 310 Sofie, Goose Island Beer Co. Chicago Illinois

This one is a Belgian style saison/farmhouse ale. It ours a slightly cloudy golden yellow colour with lots of bubbly head that dissipates quickly leaving very little lacing. It almost appears champagne like. The aroma is fruity, pear and grape with some floral hops. The taste is made up of tropical fruits with hints of lemon and orange cloves and pepper and a hoppy background. The 20% of the brew is aged in wine barrels with orange peel which accounts for some of the champagne like tastes. Overall not the best saison that I have had, the wine barrel thing doesn't seem to help with the overall product. 3.2 out of
