Apr 6, 2009 Bottle thanks to Cletus, best by April 7 2008, so I’m solid. Pours a cloudy orange color with a thick white head. Slight gushing upon open. A nice aroma of fruity apples and citrus, some rich spicy malts also. Of course, lots of that amazing yeast from Westvleteren. The flavor is a pleasing mix of yeast, citrus, wheat and rich malts. A somewhat fizzy and smooth mouthfeel. My expectations were somewhat subdued here, but this beer is exactly what it should be. A very interesting easygoing Trappist brew.

Apr 5, 2009 sample at the Ale Atlanta meeting on 4/2/09. deep yellow / blond in color with some white head... some citrus, yeast and spice notes on the nose... medium body with Belgian yeast and a light bitterness. overall one of the best Belgian blond ales, extremely smooth and drinkable. Too bad its so hard to come by.

Mar 10, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear, but it goes hazy after a while(what, did I write that? I have to try this another time a little earlier at night), light yello. Aroma; light fruity with a fruity flavor with a lightly bitter end.

Mar 1, 2009 This was my first bottle from 2 crates I recently picked up at the abbay. The beer poured a hazy golden color, straw like color. The pour produced a one inch thick head that later gave way to a thick, sticky ring on the edge of the glass. The aroma was pleasing to my nose with a balance of citrus and spice along with a good wheat character and yeast as well. The taste was a very nice mix of the sweet with a good dose of citrus but also a good backbone of hop bitterness. The beer produces a very solid wheat character that is refreshing but makes for a medium bodied beer.

Feb 27, 2009 Pours a hazy straw/orange (bottle disturbed in transit) with a thin but very persistant fine white head.
Aroma is quite muted, with a chalky, soft malt note dominating. A slightly herbal hop presence.
Flavours are light, with fine malt (german pils?) and a subtle fruitiness, finishing very dry with a light but discernable bitterness. Light - med carbonation with a med-full creamy mouthfeel.
Not as funky and exciting as the last bottle I had (exp 10/08, tasted 1/09) but showing very good balance and drinkability.
