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

75cl bottle via trade with 1 2many. Just a really interesting beer that combines a tripel and an IPA perfectly. Hazy, cloudy gold colour with a big white head and sticky lacing.Big fruity hops in the aroma. Flavour is more citrus hops built on a malty backbone and just a hint of tripel spice. 9ABV barely noticeable, which is dangerous with a 750.

Tap at the The Thirsty Monk Asheville. Pours a cloudy gold with a huge white head. Sweet malt and lots of spicy hops and maybe a touch of pepper. Taste is malty with spicy hops that give it a nice bite. Crisp and easy drinking, this was wonderful.

75 cl bottle poured into trappist glass- poured cloudy golden yellow like wheat straw laying freshly cut, one finger white head slowly disappeared to become clumps on the liquid surface and laced heavily, high-medium carbonation. Aroma of yeast, wheat malt, and unbaked cookie dough. Hits the mouth with a high-light body, malt is light and airy, spices come in immediately and are very enjoyable, sweetness in the background throughout, late middle and finish has nice hop profile. Worth every penny that I spent on it!

Take a Westmalle Tripel, add tons of hops, dry hop, and shake it up. This is it. A very good tripel, hopped to hell like an American Imperial IPA. this is amazing. Great aroma with citrus, Belgian yeast, golden malt. Flavor doesn’t let down. This was a good new idea.

Pours a lemon yellow with a huge white head. Aroma had hops, spice, and little sweetness. Flavor was very well balanced with the hops present but still a little sweet. A great brew.

(750ml) Thanks MartinT! Large white foamy head with a banana clouded body. Tart hops and yeast battle, amarillo bottom. Flavour leads with hops and malt, lemon. Flashes of tart hops. Lovely stuff.

Bottle. Cloudy golden yellow with a huge white, foamy head. Aroma is hoppy with yeast. Flavor is the citrusy and spiciness, blended well with a bitterness. I picked up on the characteristics of an English style IPA. I welcomed changed that is worth trying.
