3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: JUL 2, 2004 Blond beer with huge head. I only get hop and rubber tire aroma. Where is the nectar? Dry, yeasty, gingery and chalky taste. Some floral scents.

Large & lasting head with big bubbles. Blond colour. Fruity, sweet aroma; nectar indeed. Taste is good, sweet bitter, however not really well-balanced and a little alcoholic palate. Certainly not as good as his more famous brother.

very average belgian strong ale. ho-hum. so-so. etc.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
a bit disappointing after the amazing la chouffe and mcchouffe. light, fairly bland, but dry and yeasty standard sort of belgian blonde. marzipan aromas and a bit peanut buttery to my unimaginative palate.

Golden colur, with big and lasting head. slightly floral aroma, slight sweet start and bitter finish, i think it disguised the ABV well, enjoyable.

So far rated by 7 mostly uncommented Netherlandians and a Belgian so let’s add an Aussie perspective. Hazy honey gold under a large rocky island, large bubbled, lasting foaming white head and nice light lacing. A very dynamic and varied aroma with floral and fruity nectar, sour mash and corn syrup malt, and faint perfumed detergent and chicken yard yeast aromas. Medium body fills the mouth with a tad too much foam like a rabid sweetish larger. Sweet, faintly soapy, hoppy bitter start trying to hide the alcohol with limited success. An even sweeter maltier middle still trying to hide the alcohol which finally comes out in the finish warming cheeks and ears. A pity it is so gassy because its quite an interesting beer.

Citrus and yeast in the aroma. Taste has a hint of tartness, yeast and citrus. Some alcohol. A bit bland for such a strong beer.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: MAY 25, 2003 Golden coloured, lots of carbonation and yeast particles. Spicy, fruity nose and flavour.

It has the typical chouffe taste in it, so the chouffe-taste compensates for the weak blond beer. This is the chouffe that is the least good.
