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

Pour is a hazy gold with a large white head. Aroma is sweet and citrusy with spice, pine, hops, yeast, orange, and a little pepper. Flavor is quite good. Definitely Belgium with spice, fruit, and yeast, but also has a very nice hopy, citrus, pine, and pepperiness. Quit light and easy to drink in a good way. Damn tasty stuff. Goes great with this lemon, black pepper chicken.

Bottle: Hazy yellow colour, with a big head! Aroma of lots of citrus and flowers! Flavor had lots of citrus,flowery,and the typical belgian yeastynes from this brewery, and as it stands in the head "Abbey Trippel" so i can agree there is a mix og belgian abbey and a strong US IPA. Some caramel and malty sweetnes is there to. Medium body and a medium fruity finish. Nice mix this one, well done.

Took a while for me to warm up to this, but staring at the label and the magnifcent head gave me time to relax and enjoy. Enjoy I did - from the label to the beer and all its parts to the fun that the name conjurs - doubelen IPA tripel - yeh, maybe something is owed to Urthel Hop-it, maybe not. And as often said, imitation is the best form of flattery. Highly recommend you at least give this one a try.

(bottle) Very pale gold with generous white head. Faint hops aroma along with slightly sweet malt. Flavor is more tripel - malty/fruity, dry. I didn’t notice the hops much.

Pours a hazy buff color, super carbonated, with a 4" frothy head that slowly became the shape of the mountain in Close Encounters. Spicy, mineral aroma wiith pear and banana. Sweet and earthy in flavor with some very spicy notes. Has some lemon rind/ household cleaner hints. Strong alcohol presence. Finishes bitter. Somehow the hops don’t shine through like I would have imagined, though the citrus flavor is interesting.

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.
