Golden Ale, strong, spicy, lightly hoppy, with evoluting taste.
The brewery never had a desire to produce copies of existing beers. As a consequence, La Chouffe is distinctive and unique. The use of unusual ingredients such as spices, candy sugar , water from the Cedrogne spring (one of Belgium's highest) make for superb drinking experiences, but also uncomparable beers.
La Chouffe is unpasteurised and unfiltered, and no additives are used in its manufacture. These are amongst a number of reasons why it is so successful in blind tastings. - excerpts from achouffe.be
Named Cinq Cents in 75 cl (25.4 fl.oz.) bottles, this beer with its typical golden colour, its slightly hazy appearance and its fine head is especially characterised by its aroma which results from an agreeable combination of fresh hops and yeast.
The beer's flavour, as sensed in the mouth, comes from the smell of hops: above all it is the fruity notes of muscat and raisins that give this beer a particularly attractive aroma.
The aroma complements the touch of bitterness. There is no acidity, but an after-bitterness which melts in the mouth.
This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised. - excerpts from chimay.com
A distinctive and luxurious head is created by Duvel's (pronounced Doov'l or Doovelle) champagne-like carbonation combining with proteins formed during the brewing process
It's these proteins that keep the head there until you finish your glass, leaving behind a residue known as Belgian Lace. Lace is the signature of a high quality beer in Belgium. - excerpts from duvelusa.com
On December 26th 1989, the famous "Delirium Tremens" was born. The particular character and the unique taste of "Delirium Tremens" result from the use of three different kinds of yeast.
Its very original packing, which resembles cologne ceramics, and the colourful label contribute to its success. The label depicts the different phases of the production of "Delirium Tremens" - the "Pink Elephant" was up and ready to conquer the world. - excerpts from delirium.be
First sold in 75 cl (25.4 fl.oz.) bottles, it is noted for its coppery colour which makes it particularly attractive.
Topped with a creamy head, it gives off a light, fruity apricot aroma produced by the fermentation. The taste perceived in the mouth is a balance confirming the fruity nuances noticed in the fragrance.
Its taste, which imparts a silky sensation to the tongue, is made refreshing by a light touch of bitterness. To the palate, the taster perceives a pleasant astringency which complements the flavour qualities of this beer very harmoniously.
