Thanks to Yesper, JK, hellomynameis. The beer was cloudy gold with a moderate amount of head. I got spices, honey, grains, and fruit in the aroma. The flavor was sweet, grainy, and hoppy. It had a mild hop finish.

Jul 15, 2008 Bottle @ home. Hazy pale golden colour, thick white head. Aroma of hops, malts and some yeast. Taste is soft malty, a little zest, nice hoppy and dry bitter finish. Very crisp overall. I love this style.

Jun 27, 2008 Trappist beers being my favourite beer type, I had been trying to get hold of Westvleteren for a long time. I finally found all three of them - not cheap though.
Appearance: Pale yellow. Nice amount of head. Cloudy. Champagne-like bubbles.
Aroma: Hopsy. Bit of fruit. Yeast.
Taste: Hops, fruit and malt. Complex. Bitter aftertaste.
Info: 330ml bottle, 16/6-2006, 126/300, 67/500

Jun 25, 2008 Wow! A delicious blond beer: Well-balanced, a bit spicy and hoppy up front, nice mid-palate with great texture and dandelion or wild clover flavors, smooth aftertaste with lingering spicy malt and hops. Very nice, and well worth tracking down.

does not count  Jun 19, 2008 A bright, almost radiant blonde (in full sunlight), color and appearance were impressive. Creamy head, with a warm aroma... wildflowers?, the regions hops, and a toasted barley scent all made an appearance. Flavor was medium-sweet with a blend of fresh fruits and a noted fresh wheat. Sunny finish, mild aftertaste which shifts from medium-sweet to drier hops. [From "In de Vrede" cafe, Westvleteren, Belgium.]
