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.

330ml bottle. Tan body, creamy steady white head. Big coriander note, sort of drinks like an Imperial Wit in some ways...minus the wheat. Full bodied but well attenuated, clean. Nice bright champagne carbonation. Good.

Bottle, Big Chouffe 2019 edition. Color: Clear golden, white head. Aroma: Malty, yeasty, sugary. Taste: Medium sweet, white sugar, yeasty notes. Starting malty, going to more hoppy towards and at the finish. Over moderate hopbitterness at finish. Hints of stone fruit. Just above medium body, average carbonation. Claasic Belgium Golden Ale, I've had this one quite a lot, long time ago before my Ratebeer time, still pretty nice.

On tap at Curious Gnome, Chester Pours a cloudy pumpkin orange with a frothy white head. Nose is well laden with those traditional stalwarts bananas and bubblegum. Bananas are the mainstay in the mouth, together with pears, pine and hints of peppers and honey. Finish is bitter but fruity. A classic !

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Adding in my 300 Beers To Try ticks because I want to see how they impact my stats and some of them I will never see again. Will however re-rate them when practical. Wine Rack, West Byfleet. Have a soft spit for this one.

330ml bottle @home. Dorata, velata, schiuma bianca media-abbondante e persistente. Al naso note speziate, coriandolo, scorza di agrumi, leggero citrico, cereale. In bocca è dolce all'attacco, con note speziate e amara sul finale. Corpo medio, carbonanazione media. In tempi di quarantena è una certezza.

0,33 bottle. Szép mély arany szín, picit szűretlen. Hatalmas gyönyörű a habja, tart is. Illata citrusos, tavaszi virágos, picit visszafogott, de semmi zavaró nincs benne, egy picit az alkoholt érezni. Eddig a hozzáadott kukorica nem rontott semmit ( amin csodálkozom, magán a kukoricán) . Kortyra közepesen szénsavas, első érzés: édes, és tömény. Alkoholos, mert melengeti a torkot, de nem tolakodó. Kesernyés, picit gyógyszeres, komplex lecsengésű, utóízű sör. Elég jó kis ízeket érezni, picit élesztőt is, de inkább finom komlókat, és cukros mellékízeket. Ki kell próbálni, nem "cuppogós, ragadós belga", hanem könnyebben iható, mégis komoly! Talán picit kevesebb szénsavval (nekem) még jobb lett volna.

Nice deep golden color, slightly unfiltered. Its foam is huge and beautiful. Its scent is citrusy, spring floral, a little subdued, but there is nothing disturbing about it, a little bit of alcohol. So far, the added corn hasn’t spoiled anything (which I’m amazed at, the corn itself). Sip moderately carbonated, first feeling: sweet and concentrated. Alcoholic because it warms the throat but is not intrusive. Bitter, slightly medicinal, complex-tasting, aftertaste beer. It’s pretty good to feel little flavors, even a little yeast, but more delicious hops and sugary off-flavors. Must try, not "cupped, sticky Belgian", but easier to drink, yet serious! Maybe with a little less carbon dioxide (for me) it would have been even better.
