Bullit (1300), Glasgow, Scotland Jul 22, 2007 Hazy blond, white head. Aroma: banana, citrus, sweet malt. Flavour of banana, sweet fruits and hoppy. Not too special. BelgianBeerGal (1275), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Jul 21, 2007 33cL bottle. A nice blond but nothing special considering it came from La Trappe. I prefer their Quad. M0RHI (1067), Luxembourg, Luxembourg Jul 17, 2007 Bottle. Hazy straw to amber colour with a little white head that fades nearly straight away. Nose is slightly stale and of banana, alcohol and sweetish malt. Some citrus hints, but not big. Mouth is big on alcohol, some toffee and more banana, some sweet fruits and some bitter hoppiness. Palate is much of the same, warming and alcoholic presence. Rotorhead87 (117), Temple, Texas, USA Jul 14, 2007 Labeled as Koningshoeven Blond.
Pours a light amber with a white head. Has a light matly-yeasty flavor with some fairly lively cabonation. Has a light mouthfeel with some lingering taste.
Overall a pretty good beer, but since its coming from this brewery its pretty much a disappointment. After the Quad and Dubbel I had expected so much more, but oh well. If someone offers it to me I’ll gladly drink it, but I would never pay this much for this beer again. Kirill (264), Durham, North Carolina, USA Jul 11, 2007 330ml bottle in amsterdam. golden with big white fluffy head. smell of banana, nothing special. malty and yeasty with some bitterness. not too bad but the other beers in the la trappe lineup are far superior. beachbum25 (778), Powellville, Maryland, USA Jul 10, 2007 750 ML Bottle-Poured a light golden color w/a huge white head. Sweet, fruity, floral aroma. Light, crisp, clean. fruity flavor w/traces of cane sugar, peach, banana, & vanilla. Kind of yeasty. Had some floral hops on the front end, but nothing strong. A light malt finish. Good refreshing summer type brew. epassa (105), Sao Paulo, Brazil Jul 3, 2007 Golden color with a nice head. Aroma of peach, frity. Palate: sweet, spice and fruity. FatPhil (3443), Espoo, Finland Jun 27, 2007 330ml bottle.
Light amber, pours with a creamy head, which disappears quite quickly. Strong, but light, grainy aroma - almost wheat-like in its lightness (lack of roasting), but without the corriander that accompanies wheat. There is some perfume and blossom though.Taste is also a light maltiness. Not a huge flavour, but it makes up for it in quality, it’s sweet and inviting.
