750 ml bottle. Pours a cloudy honey yellow gold with a large white head. Unfiltered. Aroma of honey, nutmeg, coriander, pepper, bread dough and yeast. Taste is of lightly sweetened honey, coriander, nutmeg and fresh yeast. Has a slight peppery finish.

Feb. 2006 - Very good light Belgian strong ale. Poured cloudy yellow with huge-o head and lacing. Aroma was spicey and wheaty. Flavor was nicely balanced with a little extra sweetness in the middle and a nice crisp hop finish. Mouthfeel was bubbly, but enjoyable. Got a little overly sweet and a twinge of metallic taste once it warmed kept this from rating even higher.

Super super belgisk "kloster" blond. Er mere orange/brun end gylden. Duften er let sødlig med let belgisk gær og malt Smagen er varm og fyldig. Minder på ingen måde om andre blonds: er mere krydret, bedre humle, og gæren ikke fremtrædende. Bedste blond til dato.

0.75 l bottle. Copper orange color with creamy white head. Nice clean aroma with pepper, clove, coriander, honeyish malt, orange and plenty of fruity esters. Coriander, clove, pepper, herbal hops and fairly firm bitterness in the flavor. Spicy and herbal-bitter finish. Tasty and clean!

11.2 oz bottle, best by 12/06. Cloudy pink orange with copious floaters and a wisp of white. Sweet nose of spicy hay, honey and roses. A yeasty tang but almost no carb. Medium light body; milky then some resin. Taste is yeast and mildly sour caramel with touches of apricot and ginger. Showing its age.

Bottle. Part 3 of the Achouffe Christmas 2007 tastings. Strong hops, light bread, a little bit sour, light spicy. Big white foamy head which stays quite long, the body is of dark gold. The flavor started light sweet and gets bitter, medium lenght. On the palate the beer is light to medium strong, a little bit oily and dry with quite an amount of carbonation. This one is also a good one from the Achouffe brewery.
