The gnomes of Fairyland are particularly fond of this golden beer. LA CHOUFFE, with its slight hoppy taste, combining notes of fresh coriander and fruity tones, is the drink which gives them their zest for life. At least, that's what these imps say when they are thirsty. Their secret used to be jealously guarded from one generation to the next until the day they shared the recipe with humans to seal their friendship. Of all the legends from the wonderful region of the Belgian Ardennes, the tale of LA CHOUFFE is the one which most merits re-telling.

Draught @ Broadway Dive Bar. Faintly cloudy dark yellow-copper with a large foamy off-white head, honey aroma, medium carbonation, medium bitter malty taste with honey flavor, smooth thin body, long finish. Very smooth and easy to drink.

Hazy yellow color, lasting foam. Bubblegum aroma with slight sweet banana and a little spice. Flavor is candy sweetness, spicy finish with alcohol bite.

Sensory Session #69: almost clear, bright golden color and a nice white head. Belgian yeast, spicy, boozy, wheaty-witty, faint caramell sweetness, faint hoppy. A little Triple -like

Aus der Flasche (bbe 02.2023) im 2022-08 getrunken. Dieses ganz leicht trübe Blonde kommt einer leichten Citrus- und Gewürzaromen daher, die dank des zugesetzten Zuckers durch eine leichte Süße hervorragend abgerundet wird. Besonders auffällig ist das cremige Mundgefühl.

Man. I thought I tasted this years ago! Whatever, I just hope my rating was not accidently 'lost'. It pours cloudy and pale with a big foamy head that goes craggy and then fades to a small island, heheeh. Taste is initially laid back, and it has a little bit of a course alky character, but nothing like the 8% would indicate. For this ABV, its rather well behaved, makes me wonder if it really is eight. Yeasty nose, you can tell its got a fine heritage. Yes, goes down very easy for what it is, this is the quality of a real beldgy beer. So many domestics try to duplicate these belgium trippels, but just can't get there. There, you have it, JMHO.
