Skunky hop aroma. Dark golden color, white head, good lace. Sweet, skunky hop, light bitter, light pineapple. Long lasting bitter and alcohol finish.

Draft at Huppel. Golden pour with a large white head. Aroma of citrus, fruit and herbs. Sweet fruity flavour, average carbonation and a dry finish. Average.

Aroma met wat druif en licht banaan is niet groots, maar de smaak is een echte tegenvaller. Smaakt nergens naar, alleen zurig als nasmaak. Algeheel onaangenaam.

Clear blond yellow beer, white head. Aroma of yeast, fruity banana, big malt profile. Sweetish flavour, malty. Allemansvriend, nothing too pronounced to dislike, but nothing that makes me love it either.

300 ml bottle. 6.5%. From the Netherlands. Courtesy of Brandman.
Clear pale golden colour with small white head. Sweet caramel, toffee and yeast in aroma. Harsh and unpleasant flavour with rusty metal, yeast and solvent.

Its a shame this beer is mediocre. Grocery store "trappist" beer. Looks and smells the part, but the taste is unmistakably less than average.

Bottle @ home. Yellow color, average white head. Smells pretty nicely fruity. Decent taste as well. Low body and carbo.

Bottled. Half-hazy almost light red body, small white head. Aroma of honey and herbs. Very good, full taste of herby hops and the malt is strong in this one. Wonderful finish, honey again.

too bad they make this seem like authentic abbey beer while it’s owned by Gulpener. Fabricated beer this tastes to me. The citrus isn’t too bad, but otherwise it’s a beer to forget apart from the nice label and the big white head.

Bottle: Airy white foamy head on top of a clear yellow beer. Smell fruit, orange, lemon, malts, caramel and sugars. Taste is a fruity mix of malts, hops, bitter, fruits, sweets, caramel. Light dry in the end and well balanced but a bit too malty.
