This beer, amber and bitter although light and fresh, is brewed on the basis of high quality raw materials. Very digestible, it gives off fruity aromas making it particularly tasty. A family recipe, it exists since 1993, at first brewed by l'Achouffe but nowadays it is brewed at the Brasserie des Trois Fourquets / Brasserie Lupulus.

An orange beer with yeast sediment floating around and a huge white head. The aroma is sweet yeasty, but also with notes of malt. The flavor is very yeasty with hints of metal and a dry end.

Golden color. Forget the gravity and sweetness of Achouffe, this one is a strong beer, quite dry overall, with an interesting (Belgian) hop profile, from the aroma to the taste (hiding the residual sweetness). A bit high alcohol feeling at the end. Spices (coriander).

Pale dark gold, clear (end is very flunky); white dense head. A woody smell, but not oak - rather plywood; some alcohol. Delicate perfumey taste, sweet but nowhere cloying. Malt's obvious, not oppressive. Yeast gives a distinct creamier, but no new taste. Medium bodied, it has definitely more punch than its first impression might suggest. Alcohol comes out with a vengeance. Nice beer, hiding its real strenghth. But it hasn't the true classic stuff potential.

Cloudy yellow color, lots of yeast particles floating around. Aroma is spicy and hoppy. Taste is more dry, very thin spicy taste, old oak-like. Dry palate. A brew brasserie dAchouffe cannot be proud of...
