Name: Houblon Dobbelen IPA Tripel

Brewery: Brasserie D’Achouffe

Overall Rating: A+

Style: Belgian IPA

Serving Style: Bottle

ABV: 9.0 %

IBU: (International Bitterness Units)

Price: $ 10.69

Appearance: The first thing that I noticed was that there was like a cloudiness to the beer, kind of reminded me to a heffenwiesen. Still you could see the carbonation happening throughout the glass. The color was not as dark as other IPA’s, this was more like a light amber color.

Aroma: Probably cause I like my hops but what I notices most was just that the hops. Nice smell to it. You could also notice the citrus hops.

Flavor: Great flavor. The hops explode in your mouth as they go down. A more mild taste to it from what you get in an American IPA.

Body: This beer had a rich full body. Nothing flat about it. A good bitterness to it with a slight taste of alcohol that was noticeable only at the end but nothing that would deter you from taking another drink. The carnonation was there but nothing too overwhelming.

Enjoyability: A good tasting beer that would be enjoyable in any setting. As far as what I would eat to accompany this beer? A good steak at your favorite steakhouse or some good sea food. Both would be well accompanied.

Another take: Ba | From le Source
