Description
The Houblon Chouffe is a Belgian-style IPA. It is a strong beer with a pronounced citrus flavor and a bitter finish. It is best suited for those who enjoy IPAs and for those who are experts in this style of beer.
The Houblon Chouffe is a crossover beer a Belgian interpretation of the India Pale Ale (IPA), a beer style originating in England. Extra hops were added to these ales, to make sure the beer survived the long sea voyage to India hence the name IPA.
The Houblon Chouffe starts off with a discernible citrus touch, with grapefruit prominently there, before blending into its herbal, green hoppy character. Unsurprisingly this is a determinedly bitter beer, supported by a generous alcohol content and a pleasant, drying finish.
A potent and characterful beer, both for lovers of this style, as well as for real connoisseurs.
