Sofie

Just tasting Sofie. Made by Goose Island, It develops in the bottle.
I include the brewers notes below but for me it was delightful, slightly cloudy, with a citrus taste.
Tastes like a refined version of Blue Moon but somewhat sweeter. I can see the wine taste as it is barrel matured but its not as defined as the barrel aged taste of something Ola Dubh, or its brother Bourbon County

Brewmasters Notes
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.
