33cl bottle at home. BBE 08/2024. Poured golden in color with a steady white head. Floral hops, slightly peppery with notes of banana and wheat. Delicious. Summery, refreshing and top notch Belgian pale ale.

This is a little tough because from what perspective do you score this - it's excellent as what it is a Trappist table beer but table of beers are nothing special. Has the quintessential Belgian double fermentation brisk carbonation but a little bit thin on body. The vinous Belgian beer pale flavors and very drinkable.

330 ml bottle. Finally! Unclear pale orange with a creamy head. Coriander seeds, orange peel, yeasty, banana, curaçao, some woodruff. Mild dry bitterness, some sweetness. Light bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, dry yeasty fruity crisp finish. What I expected from a Westmalle table beer, very drinkable, complex and crisp. Nice!

Bottled April 7, 2022, drunk from shelf on 6/1/23. Clear, light golden, amber tinged. Large, well-retained, white head. Nose is mega-fruity, with almost a witbier like playfulness, and matching spicy phenols. Honey-like malts seem well-attenuated. Clean, no alcohol or anything particularly crude. Clean, very yeast-driven, of course. Pale malts are well-attenuated, provide average depth. Dry on the finish with white bread, honey, white pepper and hints of bubble gum underneath big, round fruits. Nice for what it is and its size.
