Description

The label of the Chouffe Soleil tells you straight away what this beer is about. The brewery’s gnome mascots, known from the blonde La Chouffe beers and the dark Mc Chouffe brews, are preparing for a scrumptious picnic, bathed in the mild spring sunshine.

During the reign of winter we enjoy the dark, seasonal beer N’Ice Chouffe, but when spring arrives, Chouffe Soleil conjures sunshine in our glasses.

This new, unfiltered, blonde seasonal beer re-ferments in the bottle and is surprisingly refreshing thanks to its aromas of fruits and herbs and its zesty citrus flavour. It is a thirst-quencher with plenty of character.

Chouffe Soleil is brewed only between April and October. In fact, Chouffe Soleil has picked up the baton from Chouffe Bière du Soleil (4.5% ABV), which has vanished from the market.

That was a light, well-hopped amber beer that tasted full in the mouth and was brewed using malted barley, wheat and rye. However, this light but fully rounded beer, was ahead of its time and was soon withdrawn. Times have now changed.

Chouffe Soleil joins the ranks of Brasserie d’Achouffe beers, already comprising the blonde La Chouffe, the dark Mc Chouffe, N’Ice Chouffe winter beer, the Belgian IPA Houblon Chouffe, and the prestigious dessert beer Chateau d’Ychouffe.
