Chouffe Houblon Dobbelen IPA Tripel

Fantastic lasting creamy white head over a little hazy yellow beer. Strong and inviting aroma of cookies, pine resins, citric hops, honey, spices, peculiar belgian yeast. Quite a full bodied beer, flavourful, dry bitter lingering end.

bought in to my store, sold half a case in one day! ... pours with an obscenely huge white rocky pederasts head and lacing ... lots of sweet honey and fresh pie with caramel (then blended on puree) .... is very smooth and delicious ... another beuty from the chouffers!! ...broccoli heads??

Pours a hazy pale gold with a thick lasting white head. Aroma is fruity peach and light lemon. Sweet malt and spicy yeast aromas. Overall the hop aroma is rather played down. Flavour comes across initially as a nice tripel. Spicy malt body, citrus hop flavour comes through in the finish.

Light cloudy gold with a huge, lumpy white head. Aroma is very nice - lots of green hops and tripel spice. The flavor is quite hoppy. The bitterness covers up some of the subtle complexities I would normally expect form a tripel. Still very tasty, dry and refreshing, but I think more standard sweet malts (as in an IPA) compliment this type of heavy hopping better than the tripel does here. Good unique brew.

75cl, exclusive brew, from De Hopduvel Gent, very complex, cloudy, rocky head, the best of the Chouffe-range, one of the best Blonde Belgian beers

Bottle: Served @ JK O’Donnell’s, this poured a murky pale yellow color with a sizeable meringue-like head. Now, I don’t doubt that this was brewed with a massive dose of hops...I just want to know where the hell they’re at. Yeah, their seems to be a subtle lingering hop effect noted but for the most part they seem to be absent. This seems very much like a basic belgian ale. Some bready malt notes are present in the nose and taste along with some spiced citrus. A good brew but very misleading.

Wow, alot of head in this beer. Excellent white lacing as well. A very hoppy smell with a bit of skunk to it. Now i smell a bit of complex fruitiness. Cant wait to take my first drink. Not bad, but not quite what i was hoping for, still a good beer though. The mouthfeel is very soft and has a bit of tartness towards the end.

Bottle. Pours a hazy orange with quite a bit of a pillowy head. Aromas are a little dusty and reveal a little bit of tartness and funk. Flavor is interesting... almost like a sweet orange and apricot flavors with some sour and bitter stuff around the edges. Alcohol is detectable, but doesn’t really interfere or take center stage at any time.
