Drew Blood (151), Mt.Prospect, Illinois, USA May 19, 2001 This was only ...really good. Not what I was expecting as I am on a Saison kick lately.Has the crisp cideriness but sans that something extra like my new found Fantome.

Bottled
Excellent summer ale - refreshing with high carbonation and lots of aroma hops.
A hint of sweetness and fruit oh6gdx (6583), Vaasa, Finland Feb 26, 2008 Bottled, 1999 vintage. Hazy orange colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is really fruity along with some toffee and mild acidic notes. Also quite big hops notable. Flavour is very much toffee (fudge) along with some mild grassyness and spices. Also quite flowery notes. Smooth and wellaged. omhper (11027), Stockholm, Sweden Feb 24, 2008 <i>Bottled (1999 vintage) at Man in the Moon, Stockholm</i> Lightly hazy amber, rich head. Surprisingly fresh floral hop aroma. Dry and very light bodied. Very light vanilla- and crackr-like malt, briefly touched by oxidized flavours of mustard and paper. Finishes with some grassy/spicy hop bitterness. Given it’s low gravity it has helf up astoningly well. Would stil be a good summer beer. kp (6300), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 <b>Name:</b> Chouffe Biere du Soleil<br />

mlist55 (210), media, Pennsylvania, USA May 24, 2007 The aroma is fresh, grassy, and spicy. The color is a clear amber and it has a beutiful white head. The flavor is sweet, malty, and spicy. It ends on a dry grassy and hoppy note. The body is somewhat thin - must be because of the low ABV by Belgian standards
