Koningshoeven Witte Trappist

Brewed by De Koningshoeven (Bavaria - Netherlands)
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Tilburg, Netherlands

Bottle (330ml). Via trade with Boutip. As "Witte Trappist (La Trappe)"Slightly cloudy pale gold with a large lasting bright white fluffy lasting head. Literally soft aroma of banana, green apple, hint of lemon zest and sweet spice and yeast. Taste follows the nose, only maltier, honey and lemon in the finish. Light bodied but nice and lively, a little dry, with a crisp, sweet, lightly fruity/yeasty finish. Very pleasant, somewhat forgettable - reminds me of Blanche de Chambly, with more complexity yet less staying power.

Bottle.33cl. Nice witbier but a littel dry in the end, thin body, it is not a fantastic wit but ok good.

Nice golden color with a white head. Real refreshing with citrus and spices.

Persistent cream. Almost imperceptible aroma of lemon and clove. In the mouth, the flavor if loses, resulting in absence of aftertaste. I waited more. .....................................PORTUGUÊS: Trata-se de uma boa representante do estilo “blanche”, de trigo, mas nada demais… Creme persistente. Aroma quase imperceptível de limão e cravo. Na língua, o sabor se perde, resultando em ausência de retrogosto. E fica nisso, eu esperava mais. Em se tratando de La Trappe, essa e a cerveja que encontra o extremo oposto das ótimas Blond e (principalmente) Quadrupel, estas sim cervejas com personalidade.

No rótulo diz que é a única trappista blanche do mundo. Álcool quase imperceptível. Frutada, com notas de limão, cravo e levemente de banana. Embora discreto, o aroma é suave e agradável. Há algo metálico nele... Excelente creme (persistente). Carbonatação leve/moderada, agradável. Típica blanche refrescante, com sua coloração clara e turva. Retrogosto suave e agradável. Se parece muito com outras blanches, com a vantagem de ser bem balanceada.

Hazu golden with a nice white head. Aroma of yeast, citrus and malt. Flavour of yeast and wheat, some citrus, slight spiciness, some sweetness, bit waterish. Dry wheaty finish. Tasty bubbly brew.
