Bottled. Clear yellow coloured with a small white head. Aroma of fruits and caramel. Sweet fruity flavour with notes of caramel and spices.

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.

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.

I 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.

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.

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.

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
