Commercial Description:
A unique marriage between the English tradition of IPAs, the new American revolution of Imperial IPAs and the classic Belgian way of brewing. Houblon Chouffe, although very much hopped as it is, showcases the unique balance between a very strong IPA and a very special Belgian Tripel exclusively created for this ale (Big malty body, distinct dryness, expressive estery fruitiness). - IBU: 59, Original Gravity: 1092

From the bottle, pours golden yellow with a thick white bubbly head. Aroma is corny and rather cheap smelling. Taste is thick and some corny, some alcohol, some malt, some bitter grassy hops at the end. Good, but not a 99%er.

33cl bottle. Hazy golden color with a large rocky white head that leaves some nice lacing. Aroma is full of spices, malt, fresh hops and some yeast. Taste is malty with nice hops and some spices. The aftertaste is bitter dry and stays for a while. Mouthfeel is brilliant and very smooth. A perfect trippel!

Bottle. 33cl. A very fine look, long lasting head clear fluide, Golden tint, soft tripel aroma, but a bit bland if you think where it comes from.

The aroma comes as almost a complete split between the trademark Belgian yeast and British Hops. Some light fruit comes to mind, possibly apricot. Pours a hazy straw/golden with sediment floating, very interesting. Taste is awe-inspiring. Pine hops, very refreshing flavour with a nice complex background. Unfortunately a slight skunkiness which is most likely due to the green bottle; while it doesn’t ruin the beer, it definitely has a presence which affects the overall taste. Still, has topped my favourite Tripel over La Fin Du Monde.

( 750ml bottle from Mr. G’s in Plano, TX) Pours murky orange with great lasing meringue-like head. Nose of grass, Belgian yeast, and oranges. Taste of pine hops, caramel, yeast, and candi sugar. This beer is exceptionally sweet, smooth and balanced. The hops are integrated perfectly. Creamy, very sweet, and hoppy all at the same time. Great beer.

Bottled. Hazy golden colored, big white head. Fantastic nose, hoppy, flowery, very, very nice. Smooth hopbitter flavor. Very easy drinking beer. I actually like it a lot more than regular Chouffe.
