La Trappe Blond

Light amber, clear, with a small head, the aroma is sweet and fruity - pears, I think. A hint of yeast in the background. Taste began with a shot of malt, reminiscent of an English bitter, but the rest of the flavour was 100% Belgian: sweet, fruity, gentle and lacking in dryness. The more I drank the more flavours emerged. What a delightful evening!

Good strong blond ale. Not overpowering though like the Quad. Crisp, yet a bit heavy and sweet. Nice. Very good.

Despite it’s low rating compared to the other varieties, I really like this one. It’s a nice one to drink many of b/c it doesn’t deliver a wallop of alcohol. There is definitely an alcohol flavor but it’s subtle. This one has tons of flavor and has a bit of citrus/tart under-tones. At first I wasn’t sure how I would rate it but it has really grown on me. It seems as if the more I drink it the more I crave it.

Wonderful aroma and appearance. The flavor reminded me of banana creme pudding. Very smooth and drinkable.

This is pretty nice. A quite spicy aroma, almost more like a tripel than a blond. Flavor is also pretty good. Nice spice, not too wheaty.

Fruity aroma.Poured with a big, creamy head.Good lacing.I found this brew to have a smooth, sweet and fruity taste to it.It didn't taste bitter or have an overwhelmig aftertaste to it.I would drink this brew again.

Bottle: Poured a deep golden/orangey color ale with a huge foamy head with excellent retention. Aroma of floral malt with candy-like sweetness, which is very enjoyable and reminiscent of the other beer from this brewery. Taste is also dominated by the candy-like sweetness and big malt. This beer does the same thing that Christophel did for me for Pilsner if you see what I mean.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Hazy, darkish golden coloured. With a firm and creamy white head. Banana in the aroma. Flavour is a great sharp, fruity mixture, grapes, citrus, spices and more. Full bodied with a sharp bitter finish. Excellent Dutch beer.
