TrefwoordPunk (652) - Leiden, NETHERLANDS - DEC 26, 2007
Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear light yellow with a small white head and a thin citrus-like smell with some hints of yeast and spice. Taste is pretty standard for a Belgian blonde, but a bit sweeter, with hints of brown sugar, ripe prunes and oranges, candy and coriander. Medium finish, nothing special.

weaselkenievil (1089) - Cheshire, ENGLAND - DEC 23, 2007
Bottle from Belgian Belly in Chorlton, Manchester. Great smell, grapefruit maybe, definitely some fruit in there. No bitter after taste, sweet and drinkable. Very nice, unfortunately it was the last bottle in a mammoth session so I’ll have to have this one again to do it justice.

SamGamgee (2451) - down the whirlpool, California, USA - DEC 4, 2007
33cl bottle at De Beiaard, Amsterdam, 12-1-07. Cloudy honey-gold with a smaller white head. The Chimay chalice it’s served in does that cool bubble thing in the center that keeps the head alive forever. The aroma is fresh fruits with apple and pear standing out, then yeast and some banana. Flavor is pretty sweet and yeasty with some banana/bubble-gum character, and a hoppy bitterness finishes it off. Heavy carbonation with a medium body. I like it, refreshing and lighter than other trappists.

HermanW (858) - Coevorden, NETHERLANDS - DEC 2, 2007
Gekocht in de Ardennen. Hier had ik meer van verwacht. Veel druk onder de kurk (teveel bubbels). Maar na een kwartiertje als de meeste prik weg is dan smaakt ze goed.

jacobwennbom (316) - Uppsala, SWEDEN - NOV 23, 2007
Light, very fruity, bubblegumish. Pours hazy blonde with very big lasting with top. Delightfull, yeasty, citric, sweet, not too much bitterness. Almost feels like wheat in some ways. A bit of fiery of alcohol in the finnish. Sparkles in your mouth. Lovley!

Slayer85 (862) - Firenze, ITALY - NOV 15, 2007
Bottled. A hazy blonde beer with a big, cremy and persistent white head that leaves nice lace son the glass.Nioce aroma of yeast, hops, fruits (mainly oranges) and spices (corriander, pepper). The flavour is sweet and has fruity notes (citric fruits), spiciness (again pepper and coriander) and a good amount of hop in the final. medium to full body, the carbonation is not so high, quite long finish. Low to medium bitterness, only a hint of alcohol is felt. Intersesting ale.
