davidm (1246) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - DEC 5, 2011
Bottle 330ml from King&Godfree. Masterpiece, great flavours. Aromas of dough, caramel, vanilla, and citrus. Taste is sweet, with sour and bitter notes, and very long length. Palate is creamy, and full bodied. Amber, with a frothy head.

Bendrixian (357) - Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA - DEC 4, 2011
Cloudy, frothy brew. yellowish colour. Very carbonated brew, yeasty-less notes and belgian esters, honey comb. more of the same on the palate. Classically styled.

BVery (1976) - Burnsville, Minnesota, USA - DEC 1, 2011
Bottle. All kinds of good going on here. Slightly hazy rich yellow pour with a monster rocky white head. Medium fizzy palate. Aroma and taste of Belgian yeast, light fruit, mild caramel malt, floral notes, and spices. Very tasty. And it gets a little better as it warms slightly.

czar (1053) - Québec, Quebec, CANADA - DEC 1, 2011
pours hazy, almost cloudy, pale golden with a huge rocky off-white head, excellent retention and lacing. complex breadiness, light caramel malts, spices and full of yeasts, earthy, fresh cereals. hint of honeyed malts. medium hopping - grassy and citrusy. very lively, fizzy, champagne-like, medium to full body, medium long floral-grassy hopping. very good brew.

Atheist_Peace (428) - Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA - NOV 27, 2011
330ml bottle. Pours deep golden with some nice haziness and a big pillowy white head that last for days. Stone fruit, green apple, candi sugar and a hint of spice on the nose. Almost tropical on the palate with a little burnt edge and a biscuit note. Finishes with some heat and a bit of spice. Not as good as some of the other trappist blonds/tripels but still solid beer.

aphelion1979 (120) - West Sussex, ENGLAND - NOV 26, 2011
pours pale yellow with a fluffy white head. aroma is sweet, fruity, and yeasty. taste is clean, well balanced, flowery/fruity with good bitterness. its like a leffe blonde, but without the sweetness. very nice.

prawlie (474) - Berkshire, ENGLAND - NOV 25, 2011
33 cL bottle from ABS Drinks into a Westmalle glass. Huge foamy head over a cloudy blond beer. Malty, yeasty aroma, not bad. Strong blond, but has a kick, yeasty and flavoursome, has a bit of candy sugar. Tastes great, one of life’s littles pleasures.

kjc51478 (277) - Cologne, GERMANY - NOV 22, 2011
33cl Bottle. Appearance is hazy, orangish-yellow color with a ton of foamy, off-white head. Aroma is mild with fruit, citrus, and yeast. Taste is similar with fruity sweetness, citrus, mild floral hops, and a subtle Belgian yeast. Palate is medium-bodied, slick texture, overly carbonated, with a sweet somewhat tangy finish.
