From the brewer

Fermented with wild yeasts and aged in wine barrels with orange peel, Sofie is a tart, dry, sparkling ale. A subtle, spicy white pepper note, a hint of citrus from the orange peel and a creamy vanilla finish make Sofie an intriguing choice for Champagne drinkers and beer drinkers who are fond of Belgian Saisons.

Who's been drinking this

2014 release
Subtle coriander, other Belgian spice & banana esters; good cereal, balanced with drying yeast bitterness and a tart, vinous finish. Lovely effervescence and -- in the sunlight -- an amazing appearance of flecks of gold in suspension, frozen in amber. I mean, look at that picture!
