La Chouffe

Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Achouffe, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

330 mL bottle. Pours a hazy, copper-brown with a thin off-white head. The aroma is apples, caramel, figs, mild cheese, and spices. The flavor is mildly sweet, with a touch of bitterness in the middle through finish. The palate is lively, slightly astringent, and smooth. The aftertaste is lone and faintly bitter. Overall, this is a magnificent example of what Belgian beer ought to be. Very delicious and fruity, with very forward yeast.

I have a soft spot in my heart for all golden ales, especially those with massive foam sporting a gnome on the label. This beer is an excellent example of the style; fruity aroma, malty finish, all around pleasant experience.

Draught ours golden with white head. Aromas of hay and herbs. Taste is nice and earthy with sweet malt and yeast and hop bite on the back end. Very drinkable Belgian, good for all occasions.

Cloudy white-yellow beer with fair collar. Not a strong smell, fresh with some fruits. Nice blond beer, bit sweeter as usual.

Troebel wit gouden bier, witte schuimkraag. Bloemige, kruidige geur, gist, coriander en mout. Licht zoetige smaak, hoppig, tarwe, mout en gist. Hoppige nasmaak.

Subtle sweet aroma,lightly bitter and taste with a medium alcoholic flavour. It has a medium body, soft carbonation with a long spicy finish. Altogether a very nice beer.

Het heeft een geel/oranje heldere kleur. Lekker bier voor op het terras bij goed weer.

Candy sugar, banana, and yeast in the aroma. Flavor is sweet and spicy, and the carbonation gives it a great mouthfeel. A really, really good beer when you want to treat yourself.
