Brasserie D’Achouffe
Achouffe, Belgium
9% abv
75cl bottle
$12.99 – The Super Fine Wine & Liquor Store in Canton
Belgian Tripel Ale
Tomahawk, Amarillo and Saaz hops
Appearance: misty golden Canadian cream body with a two
finger white head; a spot here and a spot there of lace; better lacing on the
second glass when I got more sediment into the pour
Aroma: very aromatic nose; citrus, herbal toasted biscuit;
the nose is very nice but, I just can’t come up with a specific note and the
only descriptor I like is ‘aromatic’ for this aroma
 |
| This is one beautiful glass of beer |
Flavors: soft citrus meat, herbal tea, hearty golden biscuit;
sweet grains on the front, mild bitterness on the mid and finish; a dash of
white pepper on the mid;
 |
| Great head retention |
Mouthfeel: soft, delicate style; mild-moderate bitterness;
super fine fizzy feel from the carbonation; medium body; lingering soft and
clean citrusy like bitterness
To the Point: super pleasing; while I have found this very
hard to review I really like this ale; I am going back to the store to buy a
few more bottles and enjoy them before I say I am going to put this on my top
shelf list; the aromatic, alpha type hops used gives this ale its clean and
delicate style; this is a must try and don’t buy just one
