La Trappe Blond

Had from a big ass stone corked bottle ..very hoiy grail. Drank down from a La Trappe Goblet, yes ,I came prepared. What to make of this beer. Its very eazy to sink,if dull and errtatic. It might be only 6.5 % ,but it feels heafty,yet paradoxically its drinkable. Dirty yellow..with sediment floating pointlessly..aroma was a werhl-wind of subtle fruit esters.spices and raw alcohol. Its too sweet on flavour range. I meant its sweet then boozy and dryisly sharp. Alcoholic spices zipping around..everywhere.

0,5 l ceramic bottle.Clear golden-honey colored beer with a small off-white head. Fine fruity aroma with coriander, some hop and malt. Medium bodied beer with smooth mouthfeel. The coriander is the leader with fine top-fermentation tastes, nice fruity flavor, rich malt. Delicious hop in the finish, dry herbal aftertaste. Nice ale.

bright golden ale.fresh taste of fruit and malt.nice ending moderately bitter.

33cl bottle at home, iRate: Lightly hazy dark gold with an amber center brew with a fading and somewhat creamy white head. Pale malt aroma with some oxidized caramel qualities. Golden raisins and some tea leaves... The tea goes with the oxidation. A touch of biscuit and a faint far off vanilla. Nice pale malt in the mouth... But definitely oxidized. Wet newspaper flows into more pale malt with brown sugar and a drizzle of caramel. Touches of toast, caramel, and soft cassonade sugar finish it out with just the right ammount of residual sugars.

Slight hazy honey gold hue, with a white head, but falls quickly, leaving a ring of foam, yeasty, fruity, honeyed pale malt, bready dough, spicy nose with some pear, ripe apple, light lemon citrusy, zesty esters, with a hint of nutmeg spiciness and a mild candi sugar aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, spicy, honeyish pale malt character, with some bready dough, candi sugar accents, some fruity pear, Granny Smith apple, lemon, zesty citrusy notes,with a faint flowery hop grassiness, leading towards a spicy, honey, lingering hop bitterness finish.

when i see this one i buy it and open without waiting and i am very dissapoineted...

Pours a deep golden blond colour with thick soapy head. Flavour has a candy sweetness. Also has some sharp, refeshing fruit and a little spiciness.

This is the first time I try a trappist beer from Holland, and quite frankly even if its geographicly close to Belgium, its beer is far from its neighboors. I pours a clear gold color with an almost non exsistant white foam. It has a malty taste but nothing special to my liking. I have had many regular lager that are much better, and for a Trappist I was very dissapointed.
