pours a hazy light blond with a massive white bubbly head. thanks matinus for the bottle
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Brownish hayish colour, well carbonated with lots of yeast floating around. Perfect white head. Sweet sour smell with a typical W. Vleteren bitterness. Reminds me of Orval. Quite dry and watery with an interesting evolution towards fruity sweetness. Lightly alcoholic bitter-sourness.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Yeasty creamy nose in the bottle when opened and when poured it also took on a slight banana sweetness. Superficiailly looks like a pilsner though without much beading. The head also remained modest.
Very clean and very pure taste with a heavish start followed by a light smooth cream middle before ending complex, herbally and long. Concludes with a single point of carbonation.
Requires a ear standing before it gains it appetising maturity and composure. Gentle and humane.

May sound a bit strange, but the best Westvleteren in my opinion. Tastes different with every sip, the yeast aromas are completely overwhelming, the head is everlasting... insofar no difference to the Acht and Twaalf, granted. It’s unmatched because it doesn’t satiate too much.

Bottle. Straw yellow with a white head. Grains, yeast, sugar, very light, fruity. Above average carbonation, somewhat sweet, mild, dry on the finish. Ok but probably my least favourite

33 cL glass at In de Vrede. Cloudy blond, with a big head in a Westvleteren glass. Pleasant, hoppy, bitter blond/wit. Smells of hops and slightly floral. Alright but not in the same class as its Westvleteren sibblings. Might have got one from a not so good batch.

A hazy golden yellow beer with a small airy head. Aroma is fruity and belgian yeast. Taste is also fruity, with citric notes, and spicy. Some balanced bitterness. Medium body and.
