UPDATED: JUN 16, 2008 ceramic bottle, grassy aroma, looks nice, clear yellow with small white foam, refreshing, faint honey, faint water melon, grassy bitterness, sweet aftertaste. easy drinker. also tried 33cl bottle. comments are the same, but aroma more faint than grassy

Clear amberish coloured beer with small white head and medium carbonation. Fresh fruity malty aroma. Sprankling full palate. Herby malty ending, rather short finish. Not coming close to tripel and quadruppel.

gold blond coloured with a sparkling body and a white head a spicy fruity aroma a spicy fruity bitter taste with a little alcholic bitter finish

Flaske. Flot orange-gylden øl med et hurtigt forsvindende skum. Dejlig frisk karbonering med et lille bid til tungen. Ellers frugtig med en god del sødme som man forventer af Koningshoven, men her er det tilpas. Flot klassisk blond.

330 ml bottle. Pours a deep golden color, slightly cloudy, medium head. Bright, fruity aroma, some banana. Taste is quite sweet, with some hops in the background. Pretty full mouthfeel, medium-heavy carbonation. A touch less sweetness would’ve made the balance better.

UPDATED: JUN 27, 2008 0.5l crock (a very cool way of selling beer, more abbey beers should come in crocks for novelty value). Pours with a good head, quite a lot of carbonation. Nice blonde beer with a strong hop-flavour, a little sour but very drinkable. Almost no alcohol taste.

Bottle (33 cl) at Tre Små Rum, Göteborg, Sweden. Hazy amber, medium off-white head. Fruity aroma with bitter almond and fudge, and yeasty notes. Medium bodied and smooth. Dry finish.

0.33 l bottle. Copper color with vanishing head. Caramel, toffee, orange and pear in the aroma. Sweetish caramelly flavor with restrained fruitiness, low bitterness and hint of herbal hops. Mellow and harmless beer without a backbone.
