4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a lovely pale gold with a long-lasting thick white head. High carbonation, as expected. Both nose and taste have citrus, hay, honey, maybe a touch of mint? That bready quality some tripels have, that I love. Finishes with hop oils and a tickle of alcohol on the tongue. Recommended.

Light and fluffy like a good Chouffe should be, but with a big wafting freshness of bright, citrusy hops. Delicious; the yeast, malt and hops are working just right together, to create a fresh, vibrant, unique ale.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Not a typical tripel. Light orange color, strong head, no sedimentation. Very strong citrus aroma, in particular lemon peels. Hop taste, strong bitterness.
4.4 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Hazy yellow gold w/ thick foamy white head; aroma is blend of sweet belgian yeasty sugary and notes of spice like cardomom or thyme; flava is crisp blend of grain and sweet malt; finishes very dry and bitter, not hoppy bitter but biting and harshly bitter. Feel is light and crisp, smooth, moderate fizz.

Bottle from stirchleywines. Pale golden beer with a residual head. Aroma of citrus hops. Taste is sweet citrus hops and quite dry and floral. Not bad, but not my style of tripel.

Bottle @ home. Pours a hazy light yellow with a white head that leaves lots of lacing. Aroma of hops, yeast and spices. Taste of hops...lots of hops, light fruits, hay, citrus notes and alcohol. Pretty full bodied with a long bitter and dry aftertaste. Pretty good, but probably better on a sunny day than at midnight. I know that now. ;-)

From tasting notes. Bottle. Pours hazy gold with a small white head. Nice citrus and floral hop nose with belgian yeast and light spices. Flavors of light caramel, citrus/grassy/floral hops, belgian yeast, light spice and a touch of fruit. Floral, grassy and fruity in the finish with a mild bitterness. Alcohol is well hidden. A tasty tripel.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
75 cl bottle, 9%, 5.65€. Chouffe it’s a quality seal, the "houblon" version has lots of good premises, with Tomahawk, Amarillo and Saaz hops. Well right uncapped the nose is full of hops. In the glass it forms a massive, enormous foamy explosion. Color is blond, slightly hazed. Again, the nose is amazing, lots of perfumed hops, announcing a refreshing taste. Aroma confirms the initial supposition, this is an hops-a-go-go. Hops and lots of hops allover, just in the right balance, wonderful. Floral and citrusy. Taste is expectedly bitter but not aggressive, while malts have a secondary role. The body is unexpectedly light, sparkling and fresh, dry finish. The 9% abv is absolutely imperceivable. Although lacking in body as the announced "IPA", this is an amazingly good one, somewhat the best tradition of Pilseners in a Belgian style with an UK/US attitude. Outstanding, immediate favorite. The little Chouffe had a brilliant idea with this brew.

Een bijzondere trippel, bijzondere combinatie. Redelijke zachte smaak met wat bittere afdronk.
