Formerly known as Houblon Chouffe.

The gnomes of Fairyland may be little, but they have big, very big, personalities. HOUBLON CHOUFFE matches their impish spirits. All gnomes, with their innate good taste, are in full agreement about HOUBLON CHOUFFE, which is flavoured by three different types of hops. This India Pale Ale is appreciated for its pronounced bitterness combined with the fruity tones of traditional Achouffe beers: it softens the strongest of characters.

Bottle from Waitrose. Hazy golden body with a white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of vine tomato a grapefruit peel. Flavour of lemon and tangy yeast. Medium body with a slick texture. Very fizzy. Clean and hoppy and very easy to drink for a 9% ABV hoppy beer.

Bottle from Asda in Luton of all places. Still trying to clear out stocks before the excesses of December and this one had to go. Good pour, fruity aroma, but the taste is something different. Its fruity, really fruity. Not hops fruity, but peaches and nectarines- real fruit. Not fake or flavouring but real fruit. It was actually pretty good, particularly as I normally despise fruit beers. And really well balanced .

It is a perfect IPA, it is a bit sparkling, citrus, good bitterness, malt but hidden by the hop, nice sensation in the mouth, 02.11.16.

Nice crossing between an IPA and a Tripel although the characteristic hops flavour that I love are not present.Malty , fruity with some hops character.
