Our emblematic gnome rambles across the mountains in all seasons, summer and winter alike. With his stick and his mammoth waistcoat, he regularly climbs the 6666 meters up Mt CHOUFFE, to breathe in the fresh air of the perpetually snow-covered peaks.
Once he reaches the summit, he likes to pour himself a Chouffe and admire the view.
"Grouff, grouff ?" an inquisitive, shaggy-haired yeti, recognising the sound of beer being poured, approached timidly. "Chouffe ! ... not Grouff !" Marcel told him. The white landscape inspired Marcel to call his new beer, which is so refreshing, smooth and spicy: Chouffe Blanche!

Il n'y a aucun doute, notre nain a perdu de sa superbe depuis sa revente. Cette blanche intégrant coriandre et citron, est à la fois stéréotypée et vulgaire et n'apporte rien à la gamme. AU visuel, nous sommes sur un blond doré voilé, une effervescence modérée avec de fines bulles et une mousse blanche disparate. Le nez ne fait pas dans la dentelle, la coriandre en avant avec le citron agrémentés de céréales. En bouche c'est identique et il manque une dose d'acidité pour donner un peu de pep's. Il en ressort une douceur qui renforce ce sentiment de manque de finesse. Sur l'attaque en complément des arômes présents au nez, on peut également déceler une touche de miel/ La coriandre n'est alors pas trop présente. Elle le devient réellement dès la seconde bouche et sur l’arrière-bouche. L'alcool, à 6,5 % est acceptable, tout comme le sont la longueur et la corpulence. Le final, d'ailleurs relativement long, baisse cependant d'un ton mais sans nous offrir plus de variations ou d'intérêts. Bière loin d'extraordinaire, mais je me console que l'on puisse mettre encore un nain sur étiquette, car chez Disney, on en a viré de l'affiche pour moins que ça !

Bottle at Le Cerf Vert, Dinant. Aroma is quite intense with lemon. Light gold with little sediment. Taste is somewhat classic wit with some heavy lemon notes and a bit of booze. Very fresh drinking.

Short-lived white head over lemonjuice-coloured beer. A bit of lemon, wheat, whiff of coriander. Wheat; thanks to little coriander almost Weizen-like, dry finish. Wheat obvious, but little acidity, even more bitterness. Light, wheatslickness, good carbonation. For a witbier, stronger and better than usual. Thanks to Merel for getting this!

Pajiza turbia de abundante espuma muy blanca y duradera. Aroma especiado con notas ligeramente cítricas y lácteas. En boca tiene buen cuerpo y perfecta carbonatación. Y un sabor muy agradable y conseguido. Seca, cítrica (limón) y cilantro, y notas de caramelo y vainilla en la base.

Licht troebel geel bier met mooie schuimkraag. Smaak is verrassend goed, fruitig zoet en licht bitter met iets van kruiden, citrus en koriander.

06/VI/21 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ BBQ at my sister’s place, BB: VIII/2021, L13006 18:41 (2021-458)
Pretty cloudy pale yellow to beige beer, big irregular fluffy white head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: sweet, banana, yeasty, sweet malts, bit herbal. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: bit sweet, very yeasty, some banana, lots of coriander, gentle bitterness. Aftertaste: spicy, coriander, ripe banana, sweet, nothing of that typical wheat acidity that you would suspect in a witbier… Bah, poor excuse for a witbier. I was expecting better from Duvel / Achouffe.
