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.

From bottle to chalice in Barcelona. Hay and slight funk on the aroma. Slight perfume. Slightly hazed gold-orange with white head that is moderate and retains well at smaller levels. Flavor is orange blossom and peppery esters. Overt Belgian yeast adds nice complexity.

On tap at Happy Gnome. Pours a clear deep gold with a white head that dissipates nearly completely. Aroma has lots of Belgian yeast and flora with sweet grains and a bit of light fruits. Flavor has Belgian yeast and sweet grains with growing dates and a bit of light fruits backing.
