3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
330 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. Also available in Norway at Vinmonopolet. ABV is 6%. Brewed in the abbey. Secondary fermentation in the bottle. Hazy golden colour, no head, minimal carbonation. The bottle cap can’t have been air tight - a part of the glass rim was missing. The aroma and flavour were okay, though. Yeasty, sweetish, fruity and spicy aroma, notes of leather and oak too. Fruity and spicy flavour, quite nice. Soft mouthfeel, due to lack of carbonation. Will need to try another bottle.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: DEC 13, 2007 Sweet, headily fruity snout with hints of lemon rind, peach, orange and alcohol. Possibly a pinch of coriander. Fruity, spicy Blond with a parting note of woodsy dryness. Slightly wheaty and hazy. Leaning towards a Wit. Lots of alcohol for the ABV. Smooth and heavily sedimented. Tasty table blond but nothing to rush back to. (Re-rate)... Intermission from xmas shopping, Cafe Bruxelles, Leiscum. Didn’t think I’d had this. Spritzy, lagery gold absolutely heaped with froth. Woodsy witbier aroma with tropical fruit, peach, pineapple, lemon jelly. Silky spruce, pineneedle-earthy hops and yeasty tang. Creamy pale malt and biscuit with vanilla hints. Top drawer ’Blonde’ big on flavour and drinkability, and upped from a 3.3 to a 3.8.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Val Dieu sampler. Pours with a very short-lived, bubbly head. The color is deep golden, looking very similar to a Duvel, but with lots of cloudy yeast sediment. Smell is yeasty, strong, cinammon and coriander. It tastes spicy and bitter, once again cinammon, pepper, and some citrus.Overall,its very similar to Duvel only a little weaker and a lot sweeter.
