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

Pours hazy yellow amber with a nice sized white head. Aroma is yeasty, with light fruits and a little bit of citrusy and spicy hop notes. Flavor is light fruits, with some citrusy hop and spicy notes in the finish. Good stuff.

Bottle: Thanks Anthony. Beautiful cloudy golden pour with a fluffy huge off white head. Beautiful aroma of fresh dry bread crust, orange peel, spicy phenols, and white pepper. Fluffy feel with a dry flavor. Spicy, citric hops balance with a yeasty spiciness and dry bread crust like malt nuances. Complex and balanced. A very nice example.

Aroma is of yeast, sugars and hops. It tastes like a typical triple, with a solid complex yeasty flavor that develops into acidic and salty notes. I’m a bit disappointed though, as I expected the hops to be more present. Maybe an old/bad bottle?

Buddy brought this back from FL, and now that I live there, I see it all over. Weird! It’s like a Belgian Tripel, but with lots of hops!

Bottled:
Pours hazy golden with green-ish highlights. Head is big and fluffy. It looks like Duvel. Aroma is yeast, fruits and hops. Flavour can best be described as yeasty, fruity Belgian ale meets intense grapefruity American hops. Interesting but not quite balanced.

Pours a hazy, vibrant, golden yellow. Pleasant aroma of lemon, hops, and cloves. Lots of citrus hops with tons of pineapple. The hoppy finish is incredible. It feels more like an IPA than Tripel to me, but for me that’s a plus.

Bottle, 75cl - Semi hazy golden yellow beer with a large frothy white head. Aroma is fruity with hints of green banana, tropical fruits and wheat. Flavor fruity with notes of yeast, passion fruit, hops and alcohol. A very easy to drink beer, specially considering the ABV. Very nice combo of two different styles.
