3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Not the most surprising of the trappist beers. Pours golden blonde with a quickly dissipating white head and almost no lacing. Aroma is very light, a little grainy. This is a medium bodied blonde that is fairly dry in the mouth. The flavour has a bit of citrus and is faintly sweet with a touch of honey. Easy to drink - pleasant but not outstanding.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Unfiltered amber/orange, fizzy head quickly completely gone. Looks very fresh.
Somewhat fruity, watery/alcohol aroma. Not unpleasent, but not nice.
A little sour. Dry at the end, some weak alcohol tones.
Not bad, but not for me - mostly due to aftertones. BJCP Classifies as Belgian Blond Ale.
Watery, thin, some fizz.
Purchased in SuperBest.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
bottle. Pours clear yellow with medium fizy head that is short lived. Aroma is malty, a bit of hops. Not very good aroma. Taste is a bit spicy, with some belgian yeast. There is also some hints of fruits and the finish is somewhat alcoholic. Not bad but quite ordinary.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Clear golden body with a small diminishing white head. Yeasty and fruity aroma with some goldings hops. Bitter flavour with some yeast, fresh spicy fruit and light alcohol. Medium bodied.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Huge head of clear white foam, golden body. It starts with a fine bitter, tiny sweet and full body. Not much aftertaste, just slight presence over some time. More of a firm beer than its percentage of alcohol would make you think. Fine beer but not outstanding amongst the many blonds around.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle, clear golden with a small white head. Aromas all sweet, sweet bananas to me, like the sweets you used to buy in a paper bag at the milk bar. Maybe with a couple of musk sticks thrown in too. Very pleasant but fairly plain in the mouth, no specific aftertaste; should be chocolate freckles.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Slightly hazy and deep golden in colour with next to no head. Sweet, fruity aroma with oranges, bananas and yeast evident. Flavour had the same sweetness, with a grainy character and short bitter finish. Tasted a bit artificial all round. Ok.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap.
Pours clear golden. La Trappe specific aroma, rather sweet flavor. Very clean beer, uncomplex.
