Surprisingly strong, perfume-like, floral hop nose with underlying doughy yeast aroma. Opaque, deep blonde with a finger of white, fine-bubbled head that recedes slowly. Citrus-lemon notes, cookie dough and big sweet malt flavours with a fair bitterness and plenty of spices in the finish. Soft mouth and fine-bubbled carbonation with a crisp bitterness. The monk’s working beer certainly gives pause for reflection. Bottle enjoyed with MartinT and Rastacouere at The Moan and Dove (Amherst, Massachusetts).

Oct 6, 2008 330ml bottle. Airy, white head, slowly fading. Light yellow body colour with a slight haze. Fresh fruity to the nose with hints of cloves. Refreshing taste of fruits with spiced hops mixed in. Dry bitter endnotes. Soft carbonated. Gentle in the mouth. Served comfortably chilled (eating and drinking upstairs at Den Tatoverede Enke, Copenhagen (19.09.2008).

Pours golden with white head.
Aroma, hoppy, floral with some citrus notes.
Taste, hoppy, close to medicinal herbs, sweet with good carbonation.

Sep 25, 2008 Very pale yellow as the slight sediment sneaks in a few small particles cloud but do not darken this brew. Faint white head retains only a ring with lacing clinging the glass. Nose like a tripel, spicy, musty notes. Lightly carbonated feel on the palate. Very light spicy palate is pleasant. Must and citrus notes finish a yeasty and hoppy spicy beer. More tripel than blond in my opinion but great nonetheless.
