drywallman (282) - Lake in the Hills, Illinois, USA - JAN 5, 2009
Poured slightly cloudy yellow with a very creamy and forever lasting head. My wife simultaneously had one with the yeast cake coming apart in the bottle. I had aged the beer in the cellar for ~ 6 mo. Very smooth with a flowery aroma and a crisp hop result. Deceptively smooth.

Butters (2839) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - DEC 28, 2008
Another gusher! Clear golden yellow pour with large white head. Aroma has some farmhouse qualities with lemon citrus. Has a tartness in the flavor, funky, some bandaid. Massively carbonated, but not biting. Pretty enjoyable even though I dont really care for sours.

serkoptato (32) - Budapest, HUNGARY - DEC 27, 2008
Az acheli trappisták világos söre 8% alkoholtartalommal. A trappista színvilághoz képest meglepően világos, éppen csak nem tükrös, enyhén opálos. Illatában enyhe citrusosság és virágillat leng, ízében inkább pilseni jegyek dominálnak enyhe gyümölcsös felhangokkal. Mivel nem rég óta főzik, az a gyanúm, hogy egyfajta kiskapu a trappisták részéről a pils-kedvelők felé. Ezt látszik igazolni a kellemesen hosszan lecsengő utóíz is.

Russo (942) - Campinas, BRAZIL - DEC 26, 2008
Bottled. Golden cloudy color, with a nice white head. Aroma is citrus and sweety, some lime notes. Flavor is pretty much the same. Mouthfeel is smooth and longer..

ErikTheViking (76) - Oslo, NORWAY - DEC 12, 2008
5 Dec 2008: Extremely carbonated, and 80% head, even with very gentle pouring. Golden colour. Unfiltered. Flowers. Big mouthful. Fresh malts and hops. Small bitterness in aftertaste. To be a 8% Belgian Beer it is actually not bad, much less sweet taste. Note: exceeded best before date by 3 months.

Travlr (4529) - Washington, Washington DC, USA - DEC 10, 2008
Gift from Jason in Germany. Gold, white head. Crisp citrus aroma and malt taste with strong hops. Complex and wonderful.

Skidds (252) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 2, 2008
Pours a nice gold colour with a white head. Yeasty and slightly citrus aroma. Strong yeast flavour with a strong citrus and vanilla taste. Quite spicy and hoppy.

SeanMacGC (330) - Dublin, IRELAND - NOV 26, 2008
Bottle, 33cl. Pours a very appealing light golden, with dense, durable, half-finger deep white head, with lacing. Very fruity aroma, of citrus, and notes of honey. Similar on the palate, with yeast predominating. Exquisitely decent triple.
