Goose Island Matilda & Maugerite Porete, The Mirror of Simple Souls

Matilda is an extraordinary beer, and GI satisfies a certain homesickness. A very well-balanced and complex Belgian Strong Pale Ale, fruity, slightly floral, crispy.

Maugerite Porete was a Beguine mystic who lived during the later 13th century. In 1310 she was burnt at the  stake as a heretic.
