Sofie, Belgian Style Farmhouse Ale

Goose Island Beer Company

Tonight I am trying a brew that I have been looking forward to. We had this brew on tap at work when I first started and I was not able to try it before it sold out. I have had many brews from this brewing company. Let's dive into the history of the brewery, before we talk about the brew for tonight. Goose Island Beer Company was founded in 1988. Goose Island is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.  Founder of Goose Island when travelling to Europe realized that every where he went in Europe they would try local brews. He was curious how that was not the case in the United States. After coming to the realization and researching, John Hall, created his brewery. That brewery is still around and still part of Goose Island. At the corner of Fulton & Wood streets in Chicago, the original brewery is a hub of innovation since its inception. Goose Island the spirit of experimentation is alive and employees throughout the company get a chance to come up with a new brew. 

In 1992, Goose Island Beer Company came up with the concept of the bourbon barrel aged beer, creating new excitement in the industry. This process is now something every brewery does and it started with the Goose Island Beer Company. If you get the chance make sure you check out the Bourbon County Series.

Now onto tonight's brew, something I have been wanting to try but haven't. Last year during Migration Week for Goose Island, I ran into Jack Blake and Jesse Valenciana, who introduced me to Juliet. Another one of Goose Island Beer Company's Vintage Ales Series. Which is something you should look for. I had the Matilda, which was a Belgian Style Pale Ale. I am trying another one of the Vintage Ales; Sofie. Sofie is a Belgian Style Farmhouse Ale. Vintage Ale series is the series that I have seen be cellared. Sometime people think beer and wine gets better with age. I am the impatient one and I wanted to try this brew, the year it was brewed. Sofie, I am trying tonight is from 2016 and has an alcohol by volume or ABV of 6.5% and and IBU or bitterness of 20. This brew is named after the founder, John Hall's granddaughter. 

Appearance of Sofie

The aroma is enticing, makes me want to drink it right away. The aroma I noticed was a zesty orange aroma that was blended into a spice note. The two are almost like a yin and yang. Neither is overpowering the other. I did notice the wine aroma in this brew, there is a dryness that is noticeable. The more and more I think about the spice aroma, the more I picked up on it subtlety. It's a white pepper note that blends with the orange zestiness. There is a sour note that almost gives off a champagne aroma. I believe that aroma comes from the yeast that was used in the brew. The appearance of Sofie is a pale golden hue. There is a lingering foam at the top of the glass, the foam is around an eighth of an inch at the top. There is some lacing around the edge of the glass. 

Now onto the taste of this brew. First thing I noticed was the belgian notes. I noticed a tart note at first that was followed up with a belgian funk note. The tart was the citric note from the orange/lemon. Belgian funk note was a subtle bubblegum note as well. I think the Belgian funk is noticeable because of this brew being a Belgian Style Farmhouse. I drank a little more and notice the dryness of the beer, that was rather enjoyable. The spice note that I found in the aroma is noticeable, but blends well into the citrus note. There is a crisp dryness that plays off of the aging in wine barrels that is noticeable in the taste. As I drank more of Sofie, I began to notice as warm mouthfeel and bubbliness as you finished your sip. There is a subtle fresh vanilla taste note that is the finishing note. Sofie has a medium body and is dry like a wine. 

Goose Island Beer Company, Vintage Ale, Sofie 

Overall, I found Sofie to be rather enjoyable and perfect ending to a hot day. If you are a Saison and Farmhouse Ale fan, this brew is a must try. The belgian addition to this brew is a welcomed addition to the style and makes me wish I had aged this brew. All the farmhouse notes were hit right on the head and the aging in wine barrels brought out subtleties that added to the profile of the farmhouse ale. I have seen people do a Sofie-Mosa. I think the way this beer is brewed and the noticeable dryness as it acts almost like a champagne, it makes sense to do a beermosa. It is almost like Sofie is like a fine wine that you want to enjoy over and over again, that is how much I enjoyed it. In addition make sure you look out for the Fulton & Wood series, I enjoyed their Bee Squad Saison.

Bumble Berry Honey Blueberry Ale

Bumble Berry by Fat Head's Brewery

Tonight I am trying a new brew that is perfect for this summer heat. This brewery just started distributing into the Philadelphia region recently and is worth checking out. I was able to have a drink with two representatives from this brewery when they attended a Philadelphia beer week event in my town. It was a pleasure getting to know and talk to both Geoff and Justin about beers. I enjoyed the deep conversations about beer and beer styles. Fat Head's Brewery started as a saloon in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Their beginning was in the historic South Side of Pittsburgh. Founded in 1992 and they established themselves as a pioneer of bringing craft beer industry in the area. Fat Head's has cultivated and maintained their reputation as a premiere craft beer spot. As you get more and more popular, there is a need for expansion. Fat Head's expanded and opened breweries in three more locations; Cleveland and Middleburg Ohio, Portland, Oregon. Fat Head's mission is creating good beers. It's what they do. Fat head's started distributing into the Philadelphia region in January 2016. 

Time to focus on the beer of the night. The beer I am trying from Fat Head's is Bumble Berry. Bumble Berry is a honey blueberry ale. This ale has an alcohol by volume or ABV of 5.3% and and IBU or bitterness of 13. Bumble Berry won an award in 2010 as the Most Refreshing in America at the Brewing News Global Warming Open. Bumble Berry is part of the year round brews by Fat Head's Brewery. 

Appearance of Bumble Berry 

Aroma of this brew is enthralling. It catches your nose right away. I know the first aroma note I noticed was the honey, sweet and inviting. After the honey note, I noticed the tart blueberry aroma. Third aroma note that I noticed was a malt note, that gave this brew a biscuit or grainy aroma. All three blend perfectly together to create a delicious aroma that makes me want to down this brew. The appearance of Bumble Berry is a golden honey hue. The head or foam of this beer is noticeable and lingers around longer than you might think. There is a slight lacing around the edge of the glass that is noticeable. There is a paleness appearance to the brew as well. 

Time to dive into the taste of this brew, which so far based off of the aroma I am eager to see how the taste backbone of this beer. First thing, I notice taste note wise was the blueberry sweetness upfront. After the blueberry sweetness there was a graininess or malt note that grows on you as you drink more The graininess is paired with a hop bitter note that is not overpowering but noticeable for the hop heads. As you finish your sip you notice as honey note that transitions to a lingering blueberry note on the tip of your tongue. Bumble Berry is a crisp and refreshing brew, that is enjoyable and just the right amount of everything. This ale has a light and smooth body. 

Check out Bumble Berry by Fat Head's Brewery 

Overall, I think this is a refreshing brew that is something to come home after a hot day and have a beer. For fruit beer or lighter style fans, this is a brew you can definitely enjoy because of the light body and blueberry notes. If you are a fan a pale beers there is something you can enjoy from this brew as well and that is the hop note that almost makes this feel like a pale wheat ale. Bumble Berry offers notes for everyone to enjoy. I think that Fat Head's did a great job incorporating the honey and blueberry into Bumble Berry. It tart and sweet at the same time, which adds to it refreshing taste.

Jammer

Jammer Sixpoint Brewery

I have been trying to explore more about particular styles of brews I like and so far recently I have been trying to figure out the Gose. I am trying another Gose brew tonight. Tonight I am trying a brew from a brewery that I have sampled a beer from before and I am eager to see what their take on the Gose style is. If you look back in history, some might say that New York was the epicenter of beer. Immigrants from European countries came over and came through the Ellis Island into the United States. Germans, Irish, and other immigrants passed through New York imprinting their cultures on the city. Passing their knowledge of beer onto others and bringing their concept of beer into the country. Tonight I am trying a brew from a brewing company that is from New York. Sixpoint Brewery is where I am trying tonight's beer from. The beer I am trying is called Jammer, it is a Gose Style brew with an alcohol by volume or ABV of 4% and IBU or bitterness of 16. 

Here is a little about Sixpoint Brewery. Sixpoint Brewery was founded in 2004, some think Sixpoint started at the dawn of Civilization. "The original creations of Sixpoint Craft Ales were a mash-up of professional brewing experiences, global brewery influences, and unbridled homebrew proliferation." I was curious about the symbol for the brewery, which is a Sixpoint Brewer's Star. "The star symbolized the purity of the craft, and folklore claims the six individual points  each represent six different critical elements of the craft itself: grain, water, hops, yeast, malt, and the brewer." Sixpoint Brewery is located in Brooklyn, New York. Beer is Culture, is their slogan and it shows off in their brews. 

Explanation of the five pointed Star 

How the Sixpoint Star is comprised

Now back to our regular scheduled beer review of Jammer. Aroma wise for this brew, I notice the tartness aroma right away. There is a slight citrus aroma that is noticeable after the tartness aroma. The last thing that I noticed in the aroma was a floral/spiced based aroma. The coriander is noticeable in the aroma as the last item you notice. Appearance of Jammer is like most Gose. Jammer has a pale golden hue about it. The head or foam after you pour quickly dissipates and then leaves a lingering trace of foam on top. There is a slightly noticeable lacing on the side of the glass.  

Appearance of Jammer

Let's explore the taste notes for a little. First thing, I noticed was a light taste that fed into the tartness and sourness of the Gose. I am trying to figure out what taste note I notice after the initial tartness, but right away it eludes me. The more and more I drink it, I think of it as a mild hop note that is subdued. The subdued hop note gives way to the coriander and a salty finish. Mouthfeel wise this brew has a light body and a decent carbonation for the style. For being a Gose, the sea salt is not as noticeable as you might like for this style. 

Jammer by Sixpoint Brewery in New York

Overall, I think this is a decent brew. It is a little lighter than what I would have wanted or expected. If you are interested in exploring the Gose style, this is a brew for you to start out with. If you like Sours or Gose, this might not be what you are expecting. Each brewery has there own take on the beer styles and this is a good starter, Gose.

Hibiscus Gose

Hibiscus Gose by Boulevard Brewing Company

Summer is winding down and most of the summer or spring seasonal is starting to turn towards the fall seasonals. I think it's time to finish up some of my spring and summer seasonals that I have to move towards the new seasonal brews. Tonight I am trying another, Gose beer. If you have not read my blog or haven't been caught up, Gose or Gose- uh, is an ale brewed with Sea Salt and Coriander. I have had a few recently such as; Briney Melon Gose by Anderson Valley, and Watermelon Gose by Terrapin. This will be my third such beer from this style that I have come to like. Tonight I am trying a new Gose from Boulevard Brewing Company it is called Hibiscus Gose. Boulevard Brewing Company was founded in 1989 and has become one of the largest specialty brewers in the Midwest. Boulevard Brewing Company is located in Kansas City, Missouri. Boulevard Brewing focuses on producing fresh and flavorful beers and using the finest traditional ingredients, while using the best of both old and new brewing techniques. Founder John McDonald in 1988, created a brewery in a turn of the century brick building that is part of the lure of the brewery. I know when I see a Boulevard Beer on tap the brick image is part of their tap handle. In 2006, Boulevard Brewing expanded and increased their capacity to 600,000 barrels of beer, which originally started at 6,000 barrels and now they are up to 700,000 barrels. How times have changed for this brewery. Now onto Boulevard's Seasonal brew, Hibiscus Gose has an alcohol by volume or ABV of 4.2% and an IBU or bitterness of 11. I am curious to see how the hibiscuses are used in the beer and where it is noticeable. 

Brick Tap Handles to incorporate the history

Hibiscus Gose appearance has a pinkish golden hue to the beer. The brew almost looks like a rosé or a sparkling wine. The pink has a pale appearance and makes me intrigued when thinking about drinking this brew. The more and more I look at this brew, the more and more I notice the pink hue of it. The aroma is what you would expect for this beer. The aroma is tart, floral and slightly fruity. The tart aroma is from the funky sea salt aroma that is the first thing you notice. Then you notice the coriander and the floral aroma in the beer from the hibiscus. Last thing I notice or picked up on is the fruit note. It almost makes me think of grapefruit, but when I thought about it a little longer it was a cherry and lemon aroma, almost like a Shirley Temple with a spritz of lemon. The foam or head of the Gose quickly dissipates, which is normal for this style. There is no lingering foam around the top of the glass. 

Appearance of Hibiscus Gose 

The aroma and appearance were both influenced by the hibiscus and now time to see how they influenced the taste of this beer. I took my first sip and I was left thinking what I just drank. At first I was thinking it's going to be sour and I am not sure where the floral note is going to appear. Then after drinking it, I was shocked by how refreshing and crisp the beer was. The sour note was upfront and then faded as it gave way to the fruitiness note. There was a fruitiness to the beer that became noticeable after the tart start to the brew. The floral or hibiscus note are more noticeable towards the finish as well as the coriander or spice note in the beer. The body of the beer starts light and gives way towards a crisp medium finish. 

Boulevard Brewing Company Hibiscus Gose

Overall, the hibiscus is very noticeable in the appearance and the aroma. The taste note is more subtle and not overpowering. I thought they did a good job incorporating the hibiscus into the beer. The appearance is where it is most noticeable. In terms of Gose style beer, I thought this brew was a little lighter than I expected and more of an introductory brew into the Gose style. You get the tart note but the bite or the saltiness is not as noticeable as the other brews, I have had in the style. This is a great brew if you are looking to explore this style and want to understand the style.

Sour Bikini

Trying a new brew from a brewing company, I have wanted to try but have not been able to find brews in the styles I like. If you never heard of this brewing company, I would be shocked. Since most people have heard or know about the interesting backstory. To put it this way, which side are you on? There are identical Danish twins that started breweries. Both are fans of gypsy brewing and not having their own brewery. In fact, you could say it might lower your overhead; in terms of thinking of it in a business sense. Others could think of it is a way of lowering their ecological footprint. When asked about the feud in the NY Times, "For me, drinkability is the most important,” Jeppe said. “I’m not gonna make a Dark Lord” — the ultrarich Three Floyds stout. “It’s a fun beer to try, but it’s undrinkable. I don’t want to sound like I put down my brother’s beer, but he’s in the line of Three Floyds a bit too much. He’s very fascinated with what they do. He makes this blueberry spontaneous” — a Belgian-inspired ale — “and I hate it. I think it’s disgusting. It tastes like Kool-Aid.” It's a difference of opinion on how to brew beer and other disagreements, where the brothers’ feud is noticeable. 

You could say this is a sibling rivalry and sometimes, they just do not ever get fixed. For example, like the younger brother trying to show the older brother he's better and vice versa. Speaking as the youngest brother of four siblings, I can attest to this. There will always be sibling rivalry; to me it's how you interact after the competition or argument. You cannot pick your siblings, sometimes you hope you understand each other and want the best for each other. Evil Twin Brewing, Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergso, and Mikkeller Brewing Company, Mikkel Borg Bjergso is founded by the identical twin brothers. Evil Twin vision, "A clever man once said: 'Stay thirsty... stay foolish.' That sounds like our vision, just with a tad less attitude". 

  

  Sour Bikini by Evil Twin Brewing Company

Time to see which side I am on; I am trying a brew from Evil Twin Brewing Company. I am trying Sour Bikini from Evil Twin Brewing Company. Sour Bikini is a Sour Pale Ale. This ale has an alcohol by volume or ABV of 3%. Sour Bikini was brewed at Westbrook Brewing Company. Sour Bikini is named after atom bomb test grounds, designed by a French car engineer - the bikini was to many a disturbing and degrading creation and fortunately for others a symbol of emancipation. According to Jeppe, all good intentions to disturb, disorder and enlighten you with unforgettable beer after beer. I want to see the drinkability of the Sour Bikini. 

Appearance of Sour Bikini

Aroma wise you notice an initial tartness note in the beginning. After navigating around it, I began to notice a citrus and hop aroma. The citrus and tart aroma, blend into one amazing aroma in my opinion. I think the hop aroma is not overpowering and reminds me of a dry-hopped brew. Something I enjoy thoroughly. The aroma is funky to normal be drinkers, there is a noticeable sour aroma to the brew. It is a Sour Pale Ale, so that makes sense. If you were looking for the pale ale aroma, that is not what you are getting with this brew. Appearance wise the brew has a pale golden hue to it. There is a head or foam to this brew. In most sours, I have tried recently the foam or hear has not lingered at all. There is a quarter inch of foam at the top of the glass. There is a noticeable lacing around the edge of the glass the more you drink it, but it is not a heavy lacing. The foam is white and is thin like a pale ale foam. Based off aroma you think this brew is a Sour and the appearance makes you think Pale Ale. 

I curious to see how the taste unites the two together. Bravo, I have to say. The taste is the unity you are looking for. At first you notice the sour tart taste and in the finish you pick up the pale ale. I think the sour taste note is a blend between a green apple and a lemon rind. It refreshing and something that is not too sour for you to not enjoy the brew. The taste does disturb your understanding of a sour. The finish of the brew is almost like a berliner-weiss and a pale ale had a kid. You pick up on almost like a tangy wheat that finish to a crisp pale finish. I think the Sour Bikini has a soft bitter finish that blends into the tart sour body. This ale is a light body that is refreshingly enjoyable. Mouthfeel wise there is a noticeable carbonation and tingling sensation as you drink the bikini. 

You need to try Sour Bikini by Evil Twin Brewing

Overall, I thought that this beer could have much going for it since it was three percent ABV. But, I was proved wrong and the balance between Sour and Pale ale was extraordinary. If you are looking for a summer brew, this has to be it. It is sessionable at three percent, but gives you a wide variety of notes that you can definitely enjoy. I would get a case of this beer and would have a great day at the beach just drinking this. I do have to say, I was enlightened with Sour Bikini from Evil Twin Brewing.  

Evil Twin or Mikkeller? Which one are you?

Briney Melon Gose

Briney Melon by Anderson Valley Brewing Company

I have been trying to explore new breweries to see what is out there that I have not yet tried. Recently I have had a few brews in a particular style, that I have come to enjoy. That style is the Gose Ale. According to the German Beer Institute, "Unlike any other beer style, Gose is brewed with slightly salty water. It is likely that the original source of saltiness in Gose is the naturally saline water that comes out of some of the mineral-rich aquifers in and around Goslar that supplied the water for the old Goslar brew houses." Gose or Gose-uh, is an ale brewed with coriander and slightly salted water. Almost reminds me of visiting my friends salt water pool and getting a mouthful of salt water. Gose Ale's have been something I have been spotting more and more recently, almost like there is a resurgence in this style.  

Anderson Valley Brewing Company Logo 

Tonight I am trying a brew from a brewing company I have never tried before. I am trying a brew tonight from Anderson Valley Brewing Company. It is their Briney Melon Gose. Anderson Valley Brewing Company was created in December 1987, in Boonville, California. When the brewery first opened they were one of only twenty craft breweries in the country and have been considered one of the pioneers in the industry. If you check out their website, they give you a history of Anderson Valley, the brewery and the valley. To me that shows the dedication to sustainability and the dedication to the details. Now time to focus on the Briney Melon. Briney Melon is a Gose, and has an alcohol by volume or ABV of 4.2%. 

Appearance of Briney Melon

Aroma of this beer is very simple and easy to recognize. It is similar to a Watermelon Gose by Terrapin Beer Company. Right after the first whiff, I notice the coriander and the melon aroma. Another aroma note is the salty blended with lactic aroma. You notice something funky when trying to pick up the aroma of the Briney Melon. The color of the beer is pale straw colored appearance. There is no head to this brew because after you pour it, the foam quickly rushes off and leaves nothing behind. 

I am eager to see how the taste and the aroma line up. The aroma is making my mouth water and let's see if the beer quenches the thirst. In comparison to the other Watermelon Gose, I tried before I think this brew blends the fruit taste and tart bite better than Terrapin. The fruit taste note is the perfect amount and does not give the artificial taste notes like some fruit beers do. The coriander taste note blends into the fruit and combines into blissful note. After the fruit and coriander note, the Lactic acid or Sea Salt come out to play. The lingering taste left on my taste bud, is the sour bitter note brine of a watermelon. Almost like you ate too close to the brine. Mouthfeel of Briney Melon is crisp and the perfect tart bite for the drinker, not too acidic for enjoyment. The body of this beer is light to medium. 

Overall, I think Briney Melon Gose was a great brew and did not give the drinker too much tartness. Some Sours and Gose have a tart bite that most do not like, I however do enjoy them and find them delightful change of pace brews. Anderson Valley really brought out the brine in the Briney Melon. I really felt when I was drinking this brew that I might have bitten too close to the brine. I thoroughly appreciated the crispness and tartness of the brew. I think if you are looking to explore Gose style brews this might be the brew to start with.

Tonewood Brewing is located in Oaklyn, New Jersey. According to the Tonewood Blog, "Wondering how Tonewood Brewing got its name and what it means to its brewers? For music enthusiasts, the name should strike a chord. Tonewoods are types of wood used to construct instruments.

In the hands of the right musician, these Tonewoods produce art that is unforgettable. Tonewood Brewing embraces the spirit of these woods. By taking the simplest of ingredients – water, malted grains, hops, and yeast – we plan to craft our own works of art. And, we hope in your hands, they are unforgettable."

View of the brewery and patrons

Tonewood Brewing was awarded their license in early May, and opened to the public in early June 2016.  They offer 4 Oz pours, 12 Oz pours, 16 Oz pours.

People are checking out Tonewood Brewing and it shows. They had their Poolside Lager kick recently because of it popularity and its quality. They just finished up a brew but because it is a lager you need to let it ferment longer than an ale. In my opinion this is a brewery you need to check out. They quality of brews and the environment in the brewery, just screams let's go chill and have a few brews.  According to NJPen, "I want to have very approachable, flavorful products for everybody from the person who does enjoy those giant, big beers to the person that doesn’t."  From my visit, I think they achieved that. Brews that are approachable and flavorful are what get people to chill and in my opinion drink more. You are not worrying about can I have another or should I instead you are enjoying the company you are with and the beer you are drinking. Thanks to Taylor Facchinei, for giving me a tour of the place and chatting about brews. Make sure you check out Tonewood and stop in and visit Taylor and Eli Facchinei.
