From bottle to St. Sixtus chalice. Bottle purchased at a bottle shop in Brugge in September 2014. Beautiful aroma of light sweet malt, wheat like, yeast well pronounced with phonolics and perfume. Hazy yellow with chunks of the yeast. White head is moderate with very limited lacing on the glass. Creamy mouthfeel. Taste is banana, wheat malt and yeast.

Taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, yeasty, light fruity, spicy notes, with long duration. Mild dry bitter finish, herbal notes, medium body, creamy texture, smooth mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Excellent blond, complex, elegant and well-balanced.

330 ml bottle split with GenDV138 at The Sovereign. Thanks Donnie! Poured a very lightly hazy yellow color with an off-white head. Might be sediment from the bottle more than anything else. Aroma was light herbal, wheat, with a very light lemon peel. Flavor was wheat, light citrus. Tasty notes of light malt, citrus. Solid representation of the style.

Bouteille. Nez de levures fruitées (agrumes, notes d’abricots et de poire), malté de miel floral avec des notes de grains pâles, épicé (léger de cannelle, notes de coriandre, de poivre et de clou de girofle) léger de houblon floral et herbeux. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-fort (croustillant) et une texture crémeuse et asséchante. Goût de levures fruitées (agrumes et zeste, notes de poires et d’abricots) avec un goût épicé (léger de coriandre, notes de poivre, de clou de girofle, et de cannelle) et des notes de malt pâle croustillant lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût malté de miel très floral avec des notes de biscuit sucré et de pain parallèlement à un goût moyennement amère et sec de houblon floral et herbeux ainsi qu’un goût de levures et ce, jusqu’en finale avec quelques notes poivrées. Arrière-goût moyen-long et sec, moyennement amer de levures et de houblon floral et herbeux avec un goût fruité (zeste d’agrumes). [notes 2006]

Bottle at home watching the England / Ireland game, 27th February 16. Pours straw yellow, nice neat little white head. Aroma is hop, yeast, grass, floral. Taste is bitter, clean hop, fresh, yeast, floral, slight honey, lingering bitterness. Palate is low to medium, perfect for the style. Very nice Belgian Ale, but not worth the premium 11 Euro price tag, when compared to the De Ranke and Orval for a quarter of the price.

At the Westvleteren cafe "In de Vrede" on the beginning of May 2013. Hazy blonde beer with white head. Aroma is quite hoppy and citrous. Fresh hoppy bitterness and yeast notes in the taste. It tastes more like IPA, but not a Belgian Blonde. Very original beer compared to other Trappist beers. Very good!
