Gerardus Wittems Kloosterbier Blond

Brewed by Gulpener Bierbrouwerij
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Gulpen, Netherlands

An amber beer with a bubbly fast disappearing head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel. The flavor is very sweet with notes of caramel and a dry hoppy end.

Bottle. Golden blond with small head. Sweet fruit aroma. Flavor is sligthly sweet.

Bottle, 6%. Nice grainy, bready aroma. Almost clear dark golden colour, small white head. The flavour is slightly vinous and nicely sweet and clovey. Also bready, but nicely so.

Hoppy and a bit yeasty aroma with some tropical fruit. Sweet malty flavor with peach and not very much carbon. Medeocre beer, in fact too sweet, sticky and onedimensional to make it worthwile

Very light-clear amber; head restricted to white rim, even that dissipating. Superb honeyish nose - I ought to say nose of nectar from nectar-laden blossoms. Pity it's the only thing. Taste is a combination of overyear hops and honey (reading the other comments makes me wonder if we drank the same stuff). I like this. One thing, however, it is indeed very one-dimensional. The longer the beer stays around, the more it loses. Watery palate. Faint honey flavour marking the aftertaste. Well - if its taste would be as shockingly attractive as its nose, it would be a worldbeater. If only.

Keg on tap at A ge Panne, Schin op Geul, NL Limburg. Gold with white head. Sweet malty, biscuity beer, sharp and highly carbonated. Yeasty body with a touch of spices. Its fine but nothing special.

Golden coloured. Slightly skunky aroma of apples. Weak lager-like flavour. Sweet and boring.

(bottle) Clear and pale amber colour with a small creamy white head. Sweet malts aroma with a touch of rotten (citrus-)fruits when it comes right out of the fridge, but getting more and more floral when it warms up. Sweet flavour, sweet malty taste with grapefruit peels and a mediocre short slightly bitter finish with traces of alcohol. Not bad but uninspiring for me.
