Highly sought-after by connoisseurs, Houblon CHOUFFE is a strong beer - 9% alc./vol., with a bitter and fruity taste. To recreate the bitterness of IPAs, we add three types of hops to our brews: Tomahawk, Saaz and Amarillo. Houblon CHOUFFE is the first Belgian IPA. Taste this magnificent beer and you can appreciate its subtle grapefruit note. This beer is also extremely popular as an ingredient in culinary dishes.

Bottled at Resto. Poured an orangey ambery color. Hops aroma. Lots of fruit and hops in a pretty good marriage of styles.

Bottle shared at home. Pours deep golden with thick, long lasting head. Nose is a beautiful mix of Belgian character (yeasty and flowery) and a spicy-peppery bitter hint. In taste it’s rather prominently hoppy bitter with an apparent yeasty touch. Closes with long lasting bitter finish, has medium body and average carbo. Nice brew.

750ml from RagallachMC, thanks!
Poured into my Chouffe tulip.
Wow, now this is an interesting beer!
Cloudy golden color, HUGE, i mean HUGE head, that dissipates quite slowly, and leave behind some wonderful lacing. Aroma is very hoppy, lots of citrus, and a tinge of spice. Flavour is again, quite hoppy with lots of lemon, orange, even a hint of lime. A nice spiciness also. Perfect tripel carbonation. Definitely the best of both worlds, i’m getting a equal amount of IPA and Tripel characteristics. Outstanding beer!

Very fruity aroma of grass, citrus, mangos, grapefruit, yeast, some spiciness, hops. Flavour is fruity and hoppy, light sweet, with a dry, nicely bitter finish. A surprisingly fresh beer that masks its alcohol content well. Beautiful marriage between IPA and Belgian Tripel.

Bottiglia. Il naso riconosce segni di luppolo. La finezza olfattiva è normale e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. Le bollicine sono grandi. Il liquido appare velato, con carbonazione vivace. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è carico. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di amaro. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al palato arrivano sentori di miele, frutta secca, agrumi, pompelmo, ananas e mandarino.

К удивлению, концентрация хмеля в этом пиве не дает особо острого запаха. Легкий аромат цитрусов и ничего более. Цвет практически прозрачный. Вкус очень хмелево-фруктовый и достаточно пресный. Четко чувствуется алкоголь. В послевкусие сильно ощущается горчинка а также фрукты и цитрусы.
