La Chouffe

On tap at the sanctuary Iowa city. Shitty iPhone rating number 6425. Hazy gold pour with a nice sized white head. Aroma is candi sugar and floral hops. Flavor is up front fruity, mainly apple and pears. Some spices come through, but I can’t quite figure out what. Finished on the sweet side, nice carbonation. Dry this out a bit and I’d really like it.

Bottle. Liked this more than the Mc Chouffe. Would be interested to possibly letting this sit to see if the flavor matures in a good way. But a great beer with good aroma and very good flavor eight percent doen’t even effect it.

Colore arancio scuro,abbastanza velato e nebuloso.Schiuma abbondante e cremosa, ottima persistenza. Aroma fresco e floreale, molto complesso e speziato,note di buccia d’arancia, caramello, zucchero, coriandolo e chiodi di garofano, eccezionali al naso.Il sapore fruttato, molto fresco e deciso. Lungo e dolce il finale.Ottima.

bottle, hazy gold with nice white head. pleasant yeasty fruity aroma. excellent flavor with lots of (sweet) fruits. it’s a nice brew but a little bit too sweet for my taste.

This Belgian offering pours a cloudy honey brown with a massive off white head that lasted the entire beer and left a wall of lacing on the side of my goblet. The sent is of sweet yeast, apple, and warm alcohol, very pleasant on the nose. Great yeasty taste with lots of summer fruits, there seems to be a ton of smooth tasting wheat in the mix as well. The alcohol is nicely balanced in the flavor just enough to warm the palette but not some much it over powers the taste. Mouth feel might have been a touch thin but had some good carbonation. This is a great brew not the best one out there but still very excellent

Pours amber with a huge head. Malty aroma. Pleasant bready flavour with a bit of a kick.

As the picture on this site suggests, there is a lot of head, even if you are quite slow and deliberate in your pouring. On first sip, it is slightly light in flavor, with hints of apple and spice. The body is surprisingly thick for an ale of this kind, and as I progressed, the apples and spice became more prominent. Quite delicious, and one that gets better throughout.

A bit messy to open with some over foaming onto the table but this was managable. A gorgous golden cloudy yellow with a classic thick belgian head to it. Sipping through the head of the beer gve way to a yeasty and coriander. A bitpungent at first but an enjoyable beer for me who is not a big fan of the belgian styles.
