Taste is moderately sweet, orange, raisin, some alcohol, faint cherry, soap. Creamy medium-full body, some wateriness. Too much alcohol for such a mellow ABV.

33cL bottle. A nice blond but nothing special considering it came from La Trappe. I prefer their Quad.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 RoyceH (1129) - Hesperange, 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.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 Rotorhead87 (119) - 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.
