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.

Lattina. Al naso arrivano indizi di orzo. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine. Il liquido è di apparenza velata. Bollicine medio-fini costituiscono anche la forma del perlage. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Sul tetto della bocca si fermano note di caramello, miele, cereali, frutta secca, luppolo, un accenno di resinoso quasi balsamico, erba, agrumi e alcol presente.

This is a dependable strong Belgian blonde, tastes on the lighter side of the Belgian strong blonde variety. Spicy and fruity aroma.

Очень сбалансированный Бельгийский Эль. Аромат цитрусовый с легкой тенью кориандра. Пиво очень газированное. Вкус открывается постепенно, чувствуется пшеничная нотка, цитрусы и фруктовый хмель с легкой почти незаметной горечью. Послевкусие весьма долгое, цитрусовое-хмелевое.

0,33 l bottle. Pours hazy golden with couple of fingers of long lasting just off white rocky head. Aroma of yeast, bread malt, some caramel, slightly spicy, banana esters and clove phenol, a hint of earthiness. Taste is medium sweet and medium bitter. Finish is long, dry, earthy bitterness. Nicely complex and pleasantly drinkable.

Bottle from Tesco. Thought I'd already had this but must have been a different La Chouffe. Drank at room temperature. Mostly clear gold with great lasting white head. Aroma is sweet, yeast, clove, malts, hay, faint fruitiness; has a decent freshness to it. Taste of booze, spice with clove notable, orange peel, coriander sweet malts with a punchy bitterness to balance. Nice complexity to this for what is a mass market beer.
