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.

Bottle at home. Probably a mistake but it seemed like a good idea at the time. Good pour with a huge nose of yeast. And a huge taste of it too! Ok.

Bottle from Systembolaget Sweden.
Big, long lasting fluffy white head.
Opaque golden color.
Big phenolic and light fruity aroma.
The taste is also phenolic with nice malty sweetness too balance the alcohol.

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.
