Golden delicius belgian beer with very big white foamy head. Aroma of fruit and hops. Taste is lovely, light sweet and fruity. Spicy notes in aftertaste with good alkohol.

Clear goldblond coloured beer with large rocky white head and lots of carbonation. Hoppy fruity aroma with some spicy touches. Full sparkling palate. Finish is bitter dry with spicy sweet hints. Nice one!

Murky amber, decent head. Banana, champagne, floral, sweet aroma. Sweet, but dry bitterness builds. Bit too much alcohol coming through. Highly carbonated, bit thin. Nice blonde, but not the best of the trappist blondes.

Poors orange with huge head, Clear with a very nice carbonation. Sweet smell of flowers and honey. Taste bittersweet, some honey, some hops also in the aftertaste. This beer is surprisingly good!

BBE 04/10/2012 - Pours orange with a massive foamy white head. Aroma has notes of fruits, peach, earthy notes, spices and herbs. Taste is extremely fruity and juicy with slight sweet bitter notes. Smooth, warming finish. Excellent, well balanced and tasty blonde.

0.33l bottle @ Queen’s Head, Stockholm. Lightly gushing this one pours a light clouded bright-orangish body with a small nicely setting just off-white head. Aroma is elegant and delicate. Wheaty tones, orange and orange zest, . Lively to aggressive carbonation level with a fizzing and light oily to near sticky mouthfeel. Yeasty flavors, orange zest, nice bitterness. The carbonation level is a bit to high for my liking, but this is one solid blond. Ends with a light alcohol sting in the aftertaste.

Extremely carbonated but a light, fruity, honeyish trieple-like beer. A very nice one indeed.

Bottle. Slightly hazy golden with big white head. Aroma is malt, fruit and hops. Flavour is malt, fruit, hops, medium bitter, yeast and spices.
