20171030:
This beer had a cloudy yellow color.
The first sip of this Goose Island Sofie had a strong coriander taste. At first I thought it tasted like banana, but then I decided otherwise.
In any case, the side of the bottle says it was aged in wine barrels with orange peel.
While it was an interesting concept, I didn't enjoy it. 11:55PM PT
It had a wheat smell which was strangely pungent, similar to the taste. The taste, however, was more bearable. 20171031 7:50AM*
*As of 20171227, I didn't remember the tasting experience. However, I assumed that I wrote the note at night, but didn't send it to myself until the following morning.

BREWER'S NOTES
Our sparkling Belgian Style Farmhouse Ale is wine barrel-aged with an abundance of hand-zested orange peel. Spicy white pepper notes contrast the citrus tartness. The light, refreshing, creamy vanilla finish will excite those fond of Champagne.
Originally brewed by Belgian farmers to attract the best farm hands, we were inspired to brew an exceptional ale as inviting as the original Belgian Farmhouse ales. Light and effervescent, we named it for our founder’s granddaughter Sofie.
