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

Pours hazy orangish yellow with white head. Aromas of bread, dough and bananas. Fruity flavor with some citrus and bananas. Medium body with lively carbonation. Nice hoppy finish. Excellent tripel. Will definately have again.

Bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville. Orange-tinted lemon color with a thick head and incredible lacing. Floral and citrus hop aroma. Taste of hops, lemon zest, caramel, grass and alcohol. Smooth but a tad bit off balance.

A tasting at Three Cellars Milwaukee. Strong aroma and flavor of white grape, citrus, yeast, and hops. Finishes more like a wine than a beer. This was fantastic.

Bottle thanks to DocHop. Pours a murky gold with a ton of floaties and a creamy white head. Strong aroma of white grape, citrus, yeast, and hops. The IPA tripel combination works really well in this beer, the two styles are perfectly balanced. Its nicely carbonated with a very smooth finish. Delicious hops, fruit, and bread flavor. Really good.

Pours a beautiful liquid 32K gold with a tall white, bubbly head. Aroma is exceptionally strong citrus and Belgian yeast along with some hops and banana. Ton of flavor with a very smooth texture. The mouth feel on this is amazing. The citrus, lightly bready, and banana flavors aren’t sharp at all but rather mellow in your mouth to an elegant hop finish. Not much bitterness, but an interesting take on a tripel!

Aroma of citrus (mostly lemon) yeast, malt and some orange too, hazy apricot colour, an enormous , rocky white head, with a dollop of white foam looking like melted vanilla ice cream lasting until the last sip, which was over twenty minutes, lots of floaties, lovely lace. Wow the wack of flavour from the fine malt and those orangey hops is stunning! Some yeast, pear, grapefruit, white plum and orange zest add to the taste sensation. Full bodied, very well balanced, complex, a bitterness to live for, a tart dryness to applaud for, fine tongue tingle, Incredible! A true hybrid!

Drank it on tap at Toronado. Pours a golden color with some carbonation. Light/medium bodied, very spicy, but also hoppy which is a great combination. The best of both worlds.

Unclear golden of color with a white head. An aroma of corianders, hops, spice, yeast, grass and dry. A flavor of spice, sweets, hops and dry notes. Very nice!
