3.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured from bottle in original La Trape glass. This beer has a nice orange/copper colour and a nice dense head. It is very fruity and goes down soft as velvet. A lovely beer which is very well balanced, not too complex or too strong. This is so far one of the best brews that I have had from any of the Trappist breweries.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
750 ml corked bottle. Yellow copper colour, big head that fades in a little while. Smell of spices, clove, some fruit, honey (is there a roasted background?)
Body is not as strong as I thought, in the mouth is just as the smell: spices, clove, fruty, honey and some bread. Good beer, but I expected to be more complex.

Quite fruity and light malt liquor-like. Strong and full bodied. Full of flavour. Very pleasant
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle from the brewery. Hazy blond with a lasting white head. Ripe fruit and bubble-gum aroma. Lightly sweet flavor with moderate fruitiness. Very light hop character. Lighter body. Comes off as mostly sweet, without much character overall. Nothing offensive about it though.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle labeled Koningshoeven Blond; from 10\06. Aroma really reminds me of Riesling with honey, along with a touch of lemon and citrus. Appearance is cloudy gold with light white head- lacing actually coated the inside of my glass upon pouring. Flavor matches the nose; all the fruits are very muted and finish quite dry- definite alcohol presence preceding the dry finish. Palate is lightly bubbly and a little creamy with a thin mouthfeel. Overall, this is very interesting for me to try- an aged blond ale. The results are fascinating, and I would like to see where this goes with a couple more years of age, even if the result is detrimental.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle 330ml at home
Pours honey yellow with minimal white head. Aroma has hints of fresh fruits and banana sweetness. Tastes of fruits, caramel and typical trappist yeast. A bit sour at first, but then lasting sweetness. A bit watery with lively carbonation.
