750 ml bottle acquired via trade. Pours out an insane amount of foamy white head. Every pour fills about 70% foam. A light orange color. The aroma is pretty light; lots of rich malts and some spices. The flavor is interesting; like a Belgian Strong Ale combined with a IPA. Lots of spices, yeast, and some citrus, but also a bitter hop finish. The alcohol is fairly light, and the mouthfeel is very creamy and full. Quite nice, but not amazing.

What a strong one! Oh my god! Beautiful cloudy color under the rich foamy head, the nose is flowery hop and yeast. In the taste you can feel the three kind of differnt hops of the world, the coriander, the selected yeast and the sweetness because high percentage alcohol. The houblon-hop dominates the complex beer. The aftertaste are rich and smooth.

Sample (finally) at the WBF in Durham. I need to drink more of this tasty beer. Lots of yeast and hops on the nose... almost tangy and very fresh, exciting. Cloudy blond pour with bubbly white head. Grassy notes and some citrus. Very bitter, crisp finish. I’ll be back.

On draft, tapped a cloudy yellow-orange with a small but respectable white head that remained. Aroma was sweet citrus and flowers. Taste was spicy sweet (nearly cloying) pale malt with a host of fruitiness, especially citrus, though not tart or off-putting. Really good, really smooth, and will really mess you up if you have more than a few.

What is not to love? This is a fantastically made beer with a great spicy hoppiness, the blend of hops is surprising but works well. This however does not compromise the signature fruitiness of other delicious Chouffe beers, but does help to balance the sweetness tipping this beer over to the dry side. The beer looks great in a tulip glass with a huge rocky white head, that leaves tons of lace. Aromas are floral and spicy (of course).
