Amazing floral aroma. pours a great head, almost creamy in color. Beautiful, deep golden color when held to a light source. Citrusy tastes that don’t overpower. Crazy finish, with an overall amazing balance.

Pours hazy yellow. Thick white head and nice and bubbly! Aroma is corriander, clove, malts, and fruit. Nice and carbed with an incredible taste.

Here in Quebec we have a beer named "Blonde d’Achouffe" that is a pale imitation of this awesome beer from the Ardennes. If you live in Quebec go to the SAQ an grab the real Chouffe : it will be a very good comparison test to separate a normal beer from an exquisite one :)

I found that this ale goes well with brats & sauerkraut. However, it’s got the right balance of taste and alcohol content to qualify, in my eyes, as a dessert beer.

For such a big alcohol content for a blonde I was amazed at how smooth it was.

Pale yellow w/ sweet malty nose. Pours a big, dense froth, Champagne size bubbles w/ ample residual effers in the glass. Light and fruity w/ a defined bath pearl (corriander) tropshire. Well ballanced with a clean, crisp finish. Overall: I could drink this everyday. Highly recommended.

Bottle... thanks to my brother for this fine treat. Pours with an off white head, let’s off a strong aroma, and has a golden appearance. Wonderful full bodied taste that has a sugar and spice combo. Great beer!
