Jul 14, 2005 11.2oz Konings-Hoeven label. Dark golden colored and slightly hazed. Head shrinks to almost nothing. Body is effervescent, medium slightly clinging mouthfeel. Light hops in aroma, fruit and sweet honey. Lightly spiced flavor and a bit sweet as in honey and sugar. Light bitternes from hops. Overall nothing on the scale of their Quad but not entirely dissapointing.

Jul 10, 2005 Very interesting. Different in taste, texture and overall makeup to the Belgium trappist ales. Lighter, more of a medium body, a pale yellow cloudy color and while there is an array of subtle yeast, fruit and malt it’s not quite as complex as a quad which I suppose is the point.

Jul 7, 2005 Updated: Sep 1, 2005I believe this was an older bottle; a 750 with a cork. There was a funky barnyard aroma, almost like a lambic or gueze. Dark, cloudy yellow, with a large white head that left a thick lace on the glass. Thick mouthfeel. Bread, light fruit and light malt flavors, but none of these really stand out from the others. Another winner from La Trappe.

Jul 1, 2005 Pours gold with a orange hue that is sorta cloudy.The head laced up on the sides.Aromas of sweet fruit, possibly apricots.Flavor is fruity sweet with a touch of fig.Not too shabby.The finish was good and had slight warming of the belly

Jun 5, 2005 Orange hazy color with a thin white head. Thewre is a good trappist-like bready yeast sweetness in the aroma, along with a light spice and banana combo. Palate is rather gentle after the intital bitterness. It really turn out into a smooth, bready sweet mouthfeel. Im rather suprised this only has a 3.3 rating. Weird.

May 9, 2005 Nice golden colour...taste is sweet, fruity and spicy. Pleasant palate, I’m really finding the "blondes" to be a great compliment to food as they are refreshing and not overly complex.

May 8, 2005 Nice and fruity, poured beautifully, nice head. Too carbonated and the alcohol really overpowered the flavour. Nice, and it is a trappist, but nothing to write home about

Apr 30, 2005 Outspoken fruity nose and a dark, rich golden honey tinge, La Trappe Blond is certainly an attractive beer whilst in the glass. Full-flavored, yet easy to drink, with a long-lasting yeasty-malty character, I must admit to really liking this brew and in fact the entire La Trappe range. This neat brew makes me happy if only for the fact that I no longer associate ’beer’ and ’Holland’ with that dreadful Heineken atrocity.
