Aug 17, 2008 Sampled at the Flour City Brewers’ Fest 2008. Chouffe Houblon Dobbelen IPA Tripel is a very cloudy, pale yellow ale with many particles and a huge, white, rocky, foamy head. I smell hops here. Is this dry hopped? There is a sweetness to the aroma like raisin bread. It is medium bodied and smooth. It has a great balance between sweet, sour and bitter. It’s a hoppy tripel with notes of raisins and grass. I think this is what Ithaca was going for with their IPAbbey.

Aug 17, 2008 pours golden. hints of fruit. not as hoppy as I expected. I wuldn’t classify this as an IPA, but I just stated drinking belgians so I will have to try some that are comparable and re-rate.

Aug 17, 2008 Pours light gold with a very large, lasting head. I did not like this beer, although I can understand people who do. Not enough hops to have "IPA" in the title. Not for me.

Aug 14, 2008 Cloudy yellow with a lasting off-white head.
Fruity citrus aroma.
The flavor is fruity, tangy, spicy Belgian and hoppy, bitter IPA mixed together.

Aug 10, 2008 Updated: Aug 28, 2008Pours a hazy golden with a thick white head. Aroma is yeast and wheat with a little malt and hops. The taste is very yeasty, with a sweet wheat-hoppy finish. This is a weird beer, but one to try.
