Houblon Chouffe IPA
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.

Formerly known as Houblon Chouffe.
The gnomes of Fairyland may be little, but they have big, very big, personalities. HOUBLON CHOUFFE matches their impish spirits. All gnomes, with their innate good taste, are in full agreement about HOUBLON CHOUFFE, which is flavoured by three different types of hops. This India Pale Ale is appreciated for its pronounced bitterness combined with the fruity tones of traditional Achouffe beers: it softens the strongest of characters.

Bière pression bue à l'épée royale à Tours. Mousse blanche, 3 mm d’épaisseur, multitude de fines bulles. Le nez est doux, sur le miel et les céréales. Alliance entre une IPA et une triple, cette bière penche quand même plus sur la triple, que le côté IPA rend plus intéressante, mais l'amertume est peu fine pour une IPA. Notes d’agrumes et de céréales, bière agréable et facile à boire, sans être exceptionnelle.

Bottle 0,33. Kíváncsian vártam a sört. Szép erős nagy habja volt, lageres sárga, de kissé zavaros a színe. Szénsavas. Illata kevés volt, komlókat lehetett érezni, egyéb különlegességet nem. Íze finom, a komlós- keserű sör kedvelőinek való. Az alkoholos-boros íz jelenléte IPA-ként nálam lerontotta, mert elvette az utóízeket. Szerintem telesen felesleges volt bele a kukorica és a cukor. Nyilván akkor kevesebb alkohol lett volna- és nem eléggé "belga", de akkor egy igazán jó IPA lehetett volna. Mentsége: üvegben zajlik a másodlagos fermentáció, azaz nem minden "eresztés" egyforma. Biztos voltak már jobbak is. Mások írtak gyümölcsös, banános, egyéb ízeket. Nekem sajnos ebből semmi nem jött. Korrekt sör, de nem erre gondolnék egy Imperium IPA-nál.. Sajnos a teszt több sör után történt, azt hiszem meg kell majd ismételni, erre oda szoktam figyelni, most nem sikerült :)

I was looking forward to the beer. It had a nice strong big head, a yellowish lagoon, but a slightly cloudy color. Carbonated. Aroma: week, hops could be felt, no other specialty. The taste is delicious and suitable for lovers of hop-bitter beer. The presence of an alcoholic-wine flavor as an IPA spoiled me because it took away the aftertaste. I think corn and sugar were completely unnecessary. Obviously there would have been less alcohol then- and not "Belgian" enough, but then it could have been a really good IPA. Excuse: secondary fermentation takes place in glass, i.e. not all "leaks" are the same. They must have been better. Others wrote fruity, banana, other flavors. Unfortunately, nothing came of it for me. Correct beer, but I wouldn't think of that at an Imperium IPA.

Der Hopfenzwerg, den wir uns in der 0,75 l-Sektflasche gegönnt haben, verbreitet schon einen angenehmen frischen Duft nach Hopfen (für ein IPA nicht ungewöhlich, für ein Tripel schon). Es ist dem Braumeister tatsächlich gelungen, das beste aus beiden recht unterschiedlichen Bierstilen heraus zu holen und gekonnt zu vereinen. Es entsteht eine gute Balance aus malzigen und nach weihnachtlichen Gewürzen schmeckenden Tripel mit einem fruchtigen IPA. Ein Bier, das interessant neu und anders iat, aber kein komisches Experiment darstellt. Wirklich ausgezeichnet

Bottle, 0.33l. Hazy golden pour, two finger frothy slightly off-white head. Long lasting, very good retention. Thick lacing on the glass. Wheat, yeast and coriander on the nose, notes of citrus. Medium body, very soft carbonation. Thick and creamy texture, very smooth mouthfeel. Mild bittersweet taste with sour citrus touch. Aroma of malts, yeast, coriander. Wheat. Herbal spiciness. Dusty. Fruity citrus aroma. Slight alcohol presence, drying mouthfeel. Medium lasting finish, dry and bit boozy. Overall, quite tasty. Not sure if I'd categorize this as an Imperial IPA, feels more like a regular tripel with some hoppines to it. In any case, tasty and well balanced brew.
