Style: Belgian Strong Ale

probably my fav blond, yeasty fruity nose, golden with some sediment, cloudy, decnt white head, yeasty citric slightly fruty flavour, good mouthfeel

large dense fine head. Very sticky to the glass. Clear blond beer. Aroma dominated by hops but not overwelming. Sweet malty taste. Medium carbonation. The aftertaste remains for a long time.

golden in color, nice flavour of a strong belgian. veryvery well balanced. hops are spices throughout. well done.

330 ml bottle. Crystal clear amber colour with a really tall white fluffy head that clings to the glass. Acidic sharp citrus aroma. Brettanomyces. Delicious crisp aroma. High carbonation level. Crisp malty flavours balanced by light sourish and hoppy flavours. Quite dry. Finishes slightly mouthpuckering with a drying sensation. Grassy, sparkling and malty.

The first trappist I ever tasted and it blew me away!A lovely gloden colour and a nice white head!Of course very fruity,flouery fresh beer!

Bottle at home. Light golden with a very large white head, excellent lacings. Aroma heavy malty (fruity, sdalt), light hoppy. Flavor heavy sweet, light bitter. Medium body, strong in alcohol.

Bottle. Hazy golden colour, quite a decent offwhite head. Herbal hop aroma, strong notes of sweet vegetables and cheese combined with hints of coriander. Sweet cheese flavours, also coriander and herbs. I cannot say I like this, despite the complexity of flavours. I even seem to remember it to be more pleasant and harmonious at a previous occasion.

The aroma is yeasty (cheese like), with coriander, corn malt, and fruit (like citrus). The appearance starts with a huge head and then slowly falls to reveal a golden ale with lots of floating particles. the flavor is like the aroma with most of the alcohol being well hidden until the end, then you get a slight warming. The palate is thin but OK.
