look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

Hazy light blonde colour with nearly 2 fingers of white head, decent lace as well. Smell is lightly funky with some tart apple, lemon and light oak witha subtle vanilla, orange-citrus with some vinious notes and yeast. Taste is fruity, lots of apple, orange and some tart lemon, light acidity with som wine and oak, yeasty with a citrusy aftertaste. Medium carbonation, medium body, nice crisp refreshing quality. A great beer throughout, very nice on the nose, quite drinkable.

Citrus notes from beginning to end! Beautiful frothy white head, crisp and refreshing good summer beer. Don't know if I had an off bottle or what happened but carbonation seemed very low. Delicious. Would recommend Sofie to anyone. Served at 48 degrees.

look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25

Appearance: It has a nice hazy golden/yellow color to it. It has a nice white head that dies down moderately and leaves some lacing.

Smell: The aromas definitely give out hints of Belgian yeast, peppery spices, citrus and some breadiness.

Taste: Like the aromas, it has some bready notes from the yeast, peppery spices, citrus and coriander

Mouthfeel: It has a medium carbonation with a very nice overall balance and feel.

Drinkability: It's a very smooth drinkable beer accompanied with good flavors and aromas.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4.25

Pours hazy, straw yellow with plenty of effervescence. Head was pure white and fell off to some pleasant lacing. Nose is big with lemon, grass and funk. It offers up a little spice, a little sour and some florals. As it warms it gives some cracker, some medicinal alcohol and clove. Grainy with a touch of sweetness. Taste follows the nose all the way and pucker up because its tart. Flavors all come together, lemony citrus, bread, yeast,a little pepper. Taste doesn’t quite live up to the nose but it’s close. Sharp on the tongue at first but you get used to it . Sweet, tangy, finishes earthy, crisp and slightly bitter. This was tremendously flavorfull and off dry. Very well done.
