2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle-Memphis. Shallow, temperary head, surprised at the lack of carbonation in the style. The body was full with a lasting sweetness. An enjoyable brew but not indicative of the style.
2.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
33cl bottle, clear golden color, small lasting white head, light yeast and banana aroma, citrus notes, sweet metallic flavor, light body, finish with some spices and cardboard, metallic and candy aftertaste, light and boring
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Sweet honey aroma with a strong aroma of alcohol. Pale golden yellow with no head. Tasted sweet with a strong taste of alcohol and was fizzy.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Orange and clear little or no head. Sweet and mild, too mild, very light. Alot like apple juice.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Yellowish colour (young home made Aligote wine), very cloudy, respectable foamy head. Fruity aroma and palate. An extradose of yeast.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
33 cL bottle, snifter, 55 degrees F. Tall, frothy, rocky, white head is slowly diminishing and sits on a yellow-amber body that is slightly hazy and has lively carbonation. Grain and straw malt (M); flowery, grassy hops (L); bubble gum, grape aromas. Weak and artificial aroma. Moderately sweet throughout with a lightly bitter, lightly acidic, unclean finish. Slight vegetal presence as this one warms. Medium-light body, watery texture, lively carbonation. The bottom line is: not good.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: JAN 9, 2006 50cl stone crock from Morrisons. Looking forward to this, but disappointed. Hazy orange, no head, bubble gum, banana and some spice. These flavours dominate throughout with soft banana in mouth, and then the finish is quite disappointing, more banana and bubblegum. Bit flat and one dimensional.
2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 9/20
330 ml bottle bought in Brussels but had at home in Germany. Pours a dark gold color with a thin white head. Caramel, banana and white pepper in the Aroma. Yeasty taste. Sour. Hints of white pepper, lemon peel, caramel and banana. Spicy. Lemon in the Palate. Definately poor, unpleasant finish. Dissapointing.

Bottiglia da 75cl comprata da Bonanni, erano secoli che volevo provare anche questa versione ’standard’ delle famigerate trappiste olandesi, dopo aver assaggiato tripel e quadrupel (nessuna delle due particolarmente soddisfacenti, anzi la tripel manco tanto buona). La verso in un bicchiere slowfood piccolino, fa un pò di schiuma molto evanescente, il colore della birra è piuttosto malaticcio. Annuso, vabeh, tollerabile, penso: magari si potrà bere. In realtà è poco più di una Affligem, se vi piace il genere "ale belga anonima" ve la consiglio, io non le bevo volentieri cose così, però purtroppo mi capita. Avrei dovuto immaginarlo, ma senza assaggiare come potevo? Bah, La Trappe non riesce mai a convincermi. Mi manca però la dubbel, vedremo
