La Trappe Blond

Brewed by De Koningshoeven (Bavaria - Netherlands)
Style: Belgian Ale
Tilburg, Netherlands

Bottle: Poured a deep golden/orangey color ale with a huge foamy head with excellent retention. Aroma of floral malt with candy-like sweetness, which is very enjoyable and reminiscent of the other beer from this brewery. Taste is also dominated by the candy-like sweetness and big malt. This beer does the same thing that Christophel did for me for Pilsner if you see what I mean.

11.2 fl. oz bottle. The head was nice, thick and foamy. The taste is a bit like bananas. It’s a light beer.

This beer started and ended poorly. It was a struggle to get the cork out. Anyway... Hazy orange body with no head. Aroma is fruity with other fun Belgian stuff. Almost a stale basement feel to the flavor which hurt the fruity taste. If it’s not that it’s the yeast strain... and I don’t like it. Really an odd fruity taste, not good in a beer IMO. Almost no hop presence here other than a bitter finish. Maybe the bottle went bad, but either way I didn’t like this. I wanted to like this but it just didn’t happen. I didn’t want to post this before I finished the 750ml bottle, and believe me... it took a while. I even feel like 2.8 is a gift :(

Well, the aroma was great, but, no foam at all, no flavor, and the colour was good, but, I did not like it at all.

Lasting white head, peppery dry hops hit you at the start. Taste has pepper with a touch of anise and ouzo.

Pours a gold and beautiful beer with a big foamy head that diminished fast and leaves a good lacing. Aroma is malty/yeasty, full of fruity notes, melon, apricot, vanilla and peaches. There are also some alcoholic hints. The flavor is sweet and leaves a warming sensation. Very fruity as the taste with little if any bitterness. Goes down smooth with a fine alcoholic note. Light bodied and well rounded. Fine Belgian Ale.

bubbly, small white head (i poured it crap). Fruity/floral aroma that is very faint (tho i had a bit of a blocked nose), colour is golden and turbid. It’s alright, nice belgian ale taste.

From the bottle this beer pours a gold with an orange hue. Nice full white head. Aroma is banana with spice yeast and that unique monk magic smell. Flavor is a blend of fruity malt with a small bit of spice in the finish. Light to medium feel in the mouth with a good amount of fizz. The fizz really dominates the flavor. This beer may be a good gateway beer to introduce a less experienced beer drinker to the more complex trappist ales. Not a bad trappist at all.
