Very attractive 0.33 l bottle. Pours yellow body with medium head. Beautiful aroma of banana and some other sweet fruits. Some floral hops also present. Flavor bitter, a bit fruity and just a hint of sweetness felt in there. Ale yeast obvious. Quite full bodied beer. Finish is long and pretty complex. Very good, although I’ve expected even more.

33 ml bottle, from a Monastery gift shop just outside Cadubec en Caux, France. Pours golden color with a slight tangerine hue and a small fluffy white head that leaves a bit of lace. Aroma of sweetish summer fruits, citrus notes and spice bread. Spicy orange flavors, yeast and clove with undertones of shortbread cookie, and an herbal / floral hoppiness in the finish. Medium body and prickly carbonation. Nice belgian blonde, good but not remarkable.

Beige beer with quite large white head. Aroma is slightly sweet but too light. Flavor is quite sofisticated but too light. This is too light for being good trappist.

Appearance: amber orange color. Medium head, white color, some consistent and persistent. Aroma: pale malty; fruitiness some citric, similar to grapefruits and orange; sweet-fruity like peaches and tangerines. Hoppy some herbal and highly aromatic. Spicy like coriander and soft clove Flavor: soft malty and few persistent. Light to medium dryness hoppy, with herbal-medicinal touch, persistent and resinous. Finish with reminiscences of peel orange (both sourness and dryness), stone of peaches and grapefruits. Some liquory. Spicy like coriander and clove. Palate: medium body, silky texture. High carbonation, but some artificial. Nice hoppy like a good triple, not very complex.
