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.

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.

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.

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.

On tap. Pours clear golden. La Trappe specific aroma, rather sweet flavor. Very clean beer, uncomplex.

Pours with a big trappiest head, but doesn’t hold on as long as other trappists. Aroma is of orange and citrus, slight alcohol. Taste is smooth, nice mouthfeel, citrus notes, some grains, slightly sweet aftertaste. Not a bad beer, but not in the league of other trappist blondes.

Well a nice blond good for a sunny hot evening. Yellow color with white head. Fresh aroma and a rather rich body.
