Houblon Chouffe Dobbelen IPA Tripel - Belgium

I really don't know a lot about this beer, I bought it on impulse on a visit to the beer shop.

This beer doesn't really look, taste or smell like a double IPA. It also isn't exactly a Belgian Triple.

The taste is most definitely Belgian with that almost unique Belgian yeast and malt aroma & taste. It is a very light amber colour with a terrific chunky head and most impressive lacing. There are obviously a lot of Hops in this beer but unlike most IPA's they do not dominate. It is a quite dry beer with a slightly bitter finish. I did notice the 9% ABV but only after finishing the whole 750ml bottle as a refreshing Friday afternoon week ending aperitif.

A very good beer!
