Pours light amber with a frothy white head. Aroma of bread, some spice. Taste has cinnamon, nutmeg, more spice, some pleasant ferrous notes. Palate has some light fruity notes, more spice notes, pleasant, hints of grassy malt. Quite good. Thanks to Erzengel!!

And the next big thank you to Erzengel for this bottle. Again gushing reaction. BB 28.??.23 on the cap. Got lost 20% into the sink. Cloudy golden in the glass. Smooth grainy, low but present fruity on the nose. Grainy smell, caramel, increasing bitterness. Some apricot. Expected way more.

Trappist Westvleteren Bier Blond, Fläschchen aus Tausch mit Pivnizub - Dank in den Pott! - Orangegelb, trüb. - In der Nase recht süßes Malz mit Weizen, obergärige Hefe, ein wenig Kandis, reife Aprikose und subtile hopfenwürzige Herbe mit Tiefgang. - Antrunk satt hefig hellmalzig mit der für belgische Blonde typischen, etwas plumpen Malzsüße, hier aber konterkariert durch kräftige herb-fruchtige Züge, alten Hopfen und überhaupt deutliche Altersnoten (Pferdedecke?). Gut rezent. Im Abgang immer deutlicher werdene Hopfenbittere mit krautig-scharfen Zügen und ranzigen Altersnoten. - Mal ein leichteres Trappistenbier, aber nicht so einfach gestrickt wie viele Blonde sondern mit eigenwilligen Aromen und mit Tiefgang, aber auch irgendwie überaltert. (31.3.2023.)

Loads of flavor! Cap says 2023 so this must be a couple years old I guess. Mmmmm. Pic: the mess after opening

Bottle thanks to tfontana for the share! Aroma shows a fruity yeast, mild malt. Fruit in flavor is pretty subtle. Yeast is not over powered by hops or bitterness. Classic yeast focused Belgian ale. Respectable in every way.

Bottle pour from trade with Johnnnniee--thanks, John! It's a clear yellow with nice sparkle, finger-width off-white head with good retention and nice lacing. Aroma is strong Belgian yeast, sweet and tart fruit. Taste is strong cracker, Belgian yeast, pilsner malt. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with thin, frothy texture, soft carbonation and crisp finish as taste. Overall, an understatement to say well executed. Crisp and refreshing.
