Goose Island reconsidered

Why? Because I recently was advised to try goose island's Matilda and Sophie, both Belgian style ales which while having the same style name have nothing in common except exceptional brewing technique.

I don't know if goose island got another brewer or what, but these examples are far superior than the urban wheat 312 I had once upon a time.

Both shouldn't be drunk too cold. Both are well-balanced. The Matilda is pungent and earthy. You could drink it by itself to explore the odd tones or with earthy foods like game and mushrooms. The Sophie is a classic witbier. The citrus is present but not overwhelming. 6.5 ABV. Trying to move up from blue moon? Try the Sophie. Both are solid A's.
