Another day, another Belgian. This one comes from Brasserie d' Achouffe, and goes by the name La Chouffe. Very French sounding, so I've been using my awesome French accent whenever I think about this beer or say its name out loud. In this household, accents don't usually work too well. I can pull off a French accent, but strictly the "dirty Frenchman" variety. Most every other accent I try comes off sounding like the Swedish Chef or Cheech from Cheech & Chong. However, I'm waaay ahead of Marci here, as every accent she tries to use comes off sounding like a vampire. Trust me on zis one, blah, she sounds like zee Count Dracula, blah.
Enough of that nonsense, on to the beer. In the glass, it's a hazy orange with malt and citrus on the nose. There's a spice flavor (maybe not clove, but something) with apricot and just a bit of bitterness underneath to balance out the sweet. Really enjoyable beer which will definitely get into the permanent beer rotation post-beer adventure.

Thing to Think About Today:
While Marci and I can't seem to do accents very well, allow me to introduce you to someone who can blend into any situation by simply adopting a new personality. That's right.... Fletch.
"Hey! It's all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads. And I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State."
