COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Served cool, the beer turns a slightly cloudy blond with a dense head and plenty of bubbles. Pleasant, fresh and fruity aroma of citrus and a zest of lime. The taste is nicely balanced with the sweetness of the malt and a firm bitterness originating from the hops. The delicious citrus note provides a delicate and refreshing taste, which results in an excellent dry aftertaste. (from https://www.trappistwestvleteren.be/en/our-beers/trappist-westvleteren-blond) Westvleteren Blond is the basic beer for the monks’ own consumption, since 1999, when the former 6° dark ale (red cap) was finally discarded, after the 4° had already gone that path.

UPDATED: MAR 30, 2024 Great! Nice yellow colour with a thick white head. Taste of belgian yeast and fruity hops. Excellent blond.

Cunningham (14115) - Halden, NORWAY - JAN 22, 2024
UPDATED: JAN 22, 2024 Excellent tasty and session able beer. Clear golden in the glass and a fine head. Ok lacing. Pleasant intensity in the aroma. Mellow sweetness and a fine carbonation level. Malty, wheat, fruity, herbal/floral and some yeast in the flavor [Bottle at In De Vrede in Westvleteren, Belgium]

bdleedahl (6753) - , NETHERLANDS - AUG 27, 2023
UPDATED: AUG 27, 2023 Cloudy, chewy blonde. It’s good, a bit of an ashtray smokey but in a nice way. Not my favourite in the world in style due to the muggy nature of it. Sterk ams

Swiezy (303) - POLAND - MAY 28, 2023
UPDATED: MAY 28, 2023 Wygląd: piana bardzo obfita, biała, drobne i średnie pecherzyki, trwałość naprawdę solidna, odrobina zostaje na szkle. Piwo złociste, idealnie klarowne. Wyglada wzorowo. Aromat: delikatne słodowe nuty w postaci świeży wypieczonego biszkoptu, trochę kandyzowane cukru, albo bardziej kandyzowanych owocow, jansych typu morele, jasne rodzynki. Trochę ziół i przypraw. Smak: w ustach słodowe, średnio pełne, po przełknięciu szybko przechodzi w wytrawne, ziolowe, lekko trawiaste, odrobine ściągające w sposób ziołowy i przyprawowy. Generalnie jest ok, ale chyba wole wersja bardziej słodowe i owocowe niż wytrawne i ziołowe przyprawowe. Ale jest niezłe.

EvNa (4726) - Ede, NETHERLANDS - MAY 18, 2023
UPDATED: MAY 18, 2023 Bottle. Had this one long ago, before my Ratebeer time. Finally taste it again for a 'normal' price. Color: Clear golden, white head. Aroma: Malty. Taste: Malty, floral notes, yeasty hints. Light hopbitterness. Subtle fruity notes of stone fruit. Moderate to over moderate sweet. Medium body, below average carbonation. Definitely one of the better Blonds I've had. Westvleteren still brews some of the best Trappist beers.

UPDATED: MAY 3, 2023 Pours light amber with a frothy white head. Aroma of bread, some spice. Taste has cinnamon, nutmeg, more spice, some pleasant ferrous notes. Palate has some light fruity notes, more spice notes, pleasant, hints of grassy malt. Quite good. Thanks to Erzengel!!

WillemsUrenkel (4827) - Oldenburg, GERMANY - APR 9, 2023
UPDATED: APR 9, 2023 And the next big thank you to Erzengel for this bottle. Again gushing reaction. BB 28.??.23 on the cap. Got lost 20% into the sink. Cloudy golden in the glass. Smooth grainy, low but present fruity on the nose. Grainy smell, caramel, increasing bitterness. Some apricot. Expected way more.

felixguo97 (33) - Illinois, USA - FEB 26, 2023
UPDATED: FEB 26, 2023 Very drinkable blond, very smooth. Not that bitter, bot much acidity, but a still a nice maltiness to it and a small hint of fruity aroma. Some settlement at the bottom.

3.3
Moravius (3857) - Berlin, GERMANY - JAN 31, 2023
UPDATED: JAN 31, 2023 'Trappist Westvleteren Bier Blond', Fläschchen aus Tausch mit Pivnizub - Dank in den Pott! - Orangegelb, trüb. - In der Nase recht süßes Malz mit Weizen, obergärige Hefe, ein wenig Kandis, reife Aprikose und subtile hopfenwürzige Herbe mit Tiefgang. - Antrunk satt hefig hellmalzig mit der für belgische Blonde typischen, etwas plumpen Malzsüße, hier aber konterkariert durch kräftige herb-fruchtige Züge, alten Hopfen und überhaupt deutliche Altersnoten ('Pferdedecke'?). Gut rezent. Im Abgang immer deutlicher werdene Hopfenbittere mit krautig-scharfen Zügen und ranzigen Altersnoten. - Mal ein leichteres Trappistenbier, aber nicht so einfach gestrickt wie viele Blonde sondern mit eigenwilligen Aromen und mit Tiefgang, aber auch irgendwie überaltert. (31.3.2023.)
