Shinning golden hue, ivory head. Low aromatic intensity: fine butter, bread, plum, lemon cake. Fresh, sizzling, developing itself greatly as it moves through the mouth. Long finish with hints of tea and scones. Soft and tasty.

One of the two Achel ’refter beers’ which are only available from tap at the monastery, tasted there in 2005. Misty peach blonde beer with medium snow white head; malty and fruity, sweetish with honeyish touch, straightforward with low hop bitterness, somewhat creamy, very quenching (I can imagine drinking this against the thirst on a hot day during a cycling trip in the monastery’s vicinity).

Clear golden colour, white head. Malty aroma, light sweet, light citrus, light herbal. Malty sweet flavour, some bitter hop notes. Bit thin, -not surprisingly- especially when compared to the 8 Blond. Fruity finish.
Not too special, but quite OK, especially when keeping in mind it was designed for passing tourists on bikes, who still have to be able to peddle on after drinking.
