    Although La chouffe is a little sweeter then Duvel is, if you like Duvel, you’ll probably appreciate this beer also.

    Characteristics: Blonde cloudy

    La Chouffe has some great beers. Poured from a 750mL corked champagne bottle. Appearance: Golden and a little cloudy with nice white head. Aroma: Spicy and aromatic, maybe a little banana? Flavor: Coriander and banana, sweet and malty, soft bitterness. The magnitude of this beer is well masked, as the mouthfeel is smooth and light. A great beer to be had. And the gnomes are cool.

    Characteristics: banana belgian coriander gnomes

    I discovered La Chouffe at a Belgian restaurant in The Netherlands. It really reminded me of the Belgians. Warm, open, easy to take in. La Chouffe is too sweet for some people, but it is a pleasant summer drink when super chilled on a hot day. I plan to visit the brewery this summer. Oh, and they have special La Chouffe glasses. When you are in Holland or Belgium, they only serve it in that glass.

    Very good beer. The orange and coriander are a bit stronger than I’d normally like. If I have more than one I find I tire of the sweetness, but is very good once in a session.

    Characteristics: golden sweet wheat
