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

75cl bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a very thick white creamy head has a limecolor glow. Excellent lacing. Very hoppy nose. Citrusfruit, grass, spruce, also apple and peach. Well bodied, soft to medium carbonation and creamy texture make for an excellent MF. Somewhat dry aftertaste. Very good beer.

Lovely aroma of citrus, spiciness, hops. Hazy yellow/orange with thick head. Sweet up front, finishes with a dry hoppy finish. Dangerously smooth for 9%. Yum.

Pours a cloudy burnt orange with some sediment dancing around and a HUGE, soapy white head that dries like meringue. Amazing sheets of lace coat the glass like nothing I’ve ever seen. Would give this a seven for appearance if I could. Strong aroma of floral and aromatic hops, light cove, some yeast, citrus, spices. The flavor is mellow, sweet and wheaty at first, then spicy and bitter on the finish. Awesome on the palate, floats in the mouth and the finish is wonderful. I am so impressed with this one.

"Handsom gnome adorned bottle bearing hop illustrations. Anyway. Sweet floral wine gum, lemon and line and pine apple cubes thrown in. Misty and golden fine frothy head persisting even in october fest pint pot. Dusty belgum yeast. Penny chew citrus. Uh. Some hop bite underneath but but but soft and belgum despite us hops. Aroma is yeah, defintfly honey. Um. Yeah. Theres a dash of whats it called . . . . . A tea spoon of barbar. No alcohol. We ll be ducked after this. A slight manure and honey aroma. You got that? That ll do." ( As transcribed by Octo, Pub Antico Beccaria, Firenze).

Yes! The commercial description tells the truth. This is an ezxtremely hoppy beer, very bitter but still light in ts appearance and aroma. A stiff frothy head, grassy fragrance and a long lingering dry - but not drying - finish. Not a compromise, but a union of different goodies.

Bottle. Hazy yellow pour with a huge frothy white head looks fab. Aromas of orange peel, passion fruit and floral hops. Taste is spicy and yeasty but with a very refreshing hop finish. Great choice.
