Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Brasserie d'Achouffe Petite La
Chouffe.
From the Brasserie d'Achouffe website: “CHOUFFE is an
unfiltered blond beer which is refermented both in the bottle and in barrels.
It is pleasantly fruity, spiced with coriander and tinged with hops.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a hazy orange color with a white head and lots of lacing.
Aroma: Banana,
citrus, cloves, coriander, bready and caramel malts, Belgian yeast and a touch
of what smells like white grapes or champagne.
Taste: Banana,
coriander, clove, fruity, cinnamon, nutmeg, white pepper, bready malts and
champagne like flavors.
Overall:
Effervescent, dry and complex, Brasserie d'Achouffe Petite La Chouffe is a
great beer. This 8% ABV offering is most definitely something I’d pick up and
enjoy again.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
