Sophie - Goose Island

Sunday was a football day, so beer seemed to be in order.  As has been noted, I love the variety available from Costco.  Particularly the Belgian style, which fits right in my wheelhouse.

Nose: sharp wheat and a slightly aggressive yeast

Palate: Definitely a soft wheat ale, but not as polished as many macro-type.  Fitting for a self styled "Belgian Farmhouse Ale"

Finish: pretty clean with a slight bitter tweak.

I  like this beer.  Very nice and slightly better to my palate than its' sibling, Matilda.  I'm not sure if I would choose it blind over the La Fin du Monde, but it is a good beer and beats most of what I'd be willing to stock most of the time.

Cheers,
Andy
