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

I love this Tripel! Definitely one to savor. Pours cloudy with a big billowing head. Big fruits! Superior drinkability! AHHH!

Pours a cloudy burnt orange with some sediment dancing around and a HUGE, soapy white head that dries like meringue. Amazing sheets of lace coat the glass like nothing I’ve ever seen. Would give this a seven for appearance if I could. Strong aroma of floral and aromatic hops, light cove, some yeast, citrus, spices. The flavor is mellow, sweet and wheaty at first, then spicy and bitter on the finish. Awesome on the palate, floats in the mouth and the finish is wonderful. I am so impressed with this one.

I will start by saying that this is in my top favorite beers of all time. It smells and taste just like they describe it. Triple mixed with a American IPA.

75 cl bottle. Nice hoppy flavours, lots of spices, citrus, rather dry. Just the right balance of alcohol

Sample from 750 ml bottle. Hazy yellow colour with an everlasting creamy, frothy, and rocky white head. Beautiful aroma just like a big bag of cascade or amarillo hops – fresh pine, grapefruit and light grassiness – with some light yeasty notes. A touch of sweetness then lots of fresh citrus and piney bitterness. Medium bodied, juicy and very refreshing. Unlike the Urthel Hop-It, this one transcends the tripel style to set it apart.

Now this is a beer I could drink all afternoon. Beautiful grassy/light hop aroma; fantastic golden hazy farmhouse appearance; crisp (yet uncitrusy -- see West Coast IPAs, you can be hoppy and crisp without it tasting like a shandy!) -- I suppose my only complaint would be the slightly slurred taste -- I suppose that is the result of a combination style. Nice alcohol aftertaste. Fantastic.

Tasted at Delirium cafe in Brussels. What a nice beer! Surprised it´s 9%, didn´t realise. ¿Hops is gorgeous, malty goodness is perfect, left lace on glass and what more could a woman want?
