Commercial Description:
A unique marriage between the English tradition of IPAs, the new American revolution of Imperial IPAs and the classic Belgian way of brewing. Houblon Chouffe, although very much hopped as it is, showcases the unique balance between a very strong IPA and a very special Belgian Tripel exclusively created for this ale (Big malty body, distinct dryness, expressive estery fruitiness). - IBU: 59, Original Gravity: 1092

Shakeyfest 09. Thanks to Johnny I believe. Aroma is grassy, but nice. Moderately bitter. Slightly skunky. Not particularly hoppy, but a well balanced beer.

Pours a golden-orange with a nice looking head. Aroma is very fruity like light fruits(peach, apricot,orange) Taste is the same as the aroma with a little straw taste. Once you get to the bottom of each glass the bitterness comes into play. Nice lacing & well hidden alcohol.

Pours a cloudy light orange color with an enormous mound of white head and a lot of lacing. Very hoppy aroma similar to an ipa. Initial flavor is hoppy and slightly bitter before getting overtaken with a typical tripel yeast taste. Nice medium body. This is definitely a unique beer, and very enjoyable.

Draught at Delirium Café, Brussels. Clear golden coloured with a massive and lasting egg white head. Nice lacings. Very fizzy/bubbly brew. Floral aroma with notes of citrus fruits, honey, yeast, grass, herbs and sweet pale malt. Bitter and floral flavour with notes of grapefruit, pale malt, yeast and lots of hops. You really can’t taste the 9 % of alcohol. Really well made. Sadly you can’t get this one in Denmark..

Bottle. Beer pours a chucky hazy golden yellow. With a thick white head. The nose is sweet hoppyness and musty yeast. The flavor is a mix of malt and hops with the hops being most note able at the start and finish of the taste and the malt coming out in the middle. The finish is dry but there is a secondary finish that is totally Belgium.

33cL bottle pours a hazy straw yellow with a small head. Grassy and herbal aromas with a bit of tartness and yeast. Nicely bittered with a sweet tripel body. Bit of sugar and candy in the body. Very nice beer. Goes down too easily for a 9% beer.

750 ml. bottle, shared with Gabe. Pours an incredibly large head of long duration, over a cloudy pale yellow (SRM 5) body.....nose is peach. honey, light floral hop......taste is early sharp phenols, later balancing with sweet malts and later bitter hop finish.....mouth feel is medium, carbonation low. This really did not work for me, and I really like Triples.

Good stuff. Had this on tap at Rose Alley Pub in New Bedford, MA. Has a thick and hazy golden color. Smells of hops with a little bit of citrus undertones. Tastes pretty much the same. Has a bite in the end that is very enjoyable. An excellent brew.
