Chouffe Houblon Dobbelen IPA Tripel

Not bad. The hops are a bit overpowering versus the delicate malt and yeast notes, leading to a slightly underwhelming beer with a long, nasty aftertaste. What flavor exist while it’s in the mouth are delicious, I just can’t believe how crappy it ends.

pours translucent golden yellow with abundant head. beautiful grassy citrusy smell. taste starts with a nice amount of cabonation on the tongue and roof of mouth, followed by sweet/fruitiness of belgian yeast, then followed by abundant hop spicniness and aroma. saaz hops adds reminiscence of a well hopped pilsner. a wonderful marriage of styles

Hazy yellow pour that gave quite a bit of head. Aroma is a slightly grassy Belgian with a good hint of citrus. Flavor is lightly malted and slightly sweet. It doesn’t offend the senses at all, either with too much bitterness or sweetness. This just has a nice gentle flavor that is combined with a viscous, oily mouth feel.

Bottled. Poured cloudy yellow with a bright white, meringue-like head. Hops, malt, yeast, and citrus aroma. The flavor is lemonpeel, spice, and malt, with a nicely hoppy/bitter aftertaste leading to a dry finish.

A little hazy golden colored beer, with a huge thick long staying foamy white head. The aroma of hops, malts and fruits. The taste of hop bitter with a lot of fruits like citrus. The are flowers. A complex beer. The aftertaste is long bitter

Bottle. Pours a yellowish color with a long lasting two finger white head. Smells sweet and a little hoppy. Smells of yeast. Taste is hoppy and a bit bitter. Decent beer.

From 750mL. Farmhouse funky nose with yeasty and a bit sulfury hint of hop character. Light sweetness, with notes of honey, pilsner malt, and vanilla. Despite being an IPA-Tripel, so to speak, this has a fairly delicate nose. Hints of floral character with even a little bit of talc. Cloudy golden amber body with medium sized floaties of yeast. It is topped with a rocky-foamy meringue-like head with tremendous lacing. Medium body with medium carbonation and light carbonic fizz. Starts with nice neutral fruit sweetness. A bit of pear and some peach, vanilla and coriander. Very light with just a hint of honey sweetness. Mild alcohol taste with a little warming. Sweet and mellow throughout with some nice hop bittering in the finish. Yeasty chalky bitter character in the after. This is a real nice tripel and I could drink this every day.

Bottle. Pours a light orange with a thick, foamy, creamy white head. Aroma of skunk, spices, and yeast. Flavor is light, lots of yeast and melon rind. Some skunk persists. A pretty mellow beer. Slight hoppy bitterness. A typical Belgian ale, nice and easy to drink.
