1.5l ’collector’s edition’ Big Chouffe 2007. Medium head that fades to a surface with some lace. Smells fantastic, earthy, with straw, some spicy hop, candy,apricot, a bit tropical. Taste is a bit aggressive at first with hop bitterness and an effervescent bite. Light peachiness and sweetness comes in followed by a medium length dry finish. Some light alcohol vapors in the nostrils.Really good beer, especially when it warms up.

Tasted 7/8/08. Draft from The Stables, St. Louis. HAzy with a dull golden hue. Lacing white head. A pleasant mix of toffee and citrus in the nose. Sugary malts and mild hops. Full bodied with sweet smooth malts. Bubblegum yeast character. Good effervescence. Bitter citrus notes. Bready malts and peppery flavors. Bone dry finish. Solid!

pours looking like pale yellow apple cider, with head that disapeared immediately. aroma of sour air. mild flavor with a touch of spices. i’m too much of a heathen to identify any of the ingredients. slightly effervescent mouth feel with a hint of sourness in the finish. not particularly appealing, but inoffensive.

Golden, with a big fluffy white head. Sweet malty aroma, alcohol, soft spices, yeast and little exotic fruits (pineapple?) Flavor is slightly chalky with sweetish malts, yeast, alcohol and some menthol. A little tart, white wine finish, soft bittering hops. Medium bodied, strongly but softly carbonated palate. Yeast hides most of the alcohol towards the end of the bottle. Enjoyable appetizer, something between Duvel and Dupont.
