mooi licht goud kluerig met een fijne en frisse fruitsmaak met een voor mij iets te fletse afdrong.

Bottle 330ml. Nice beer. Aroma is malty, and has also apple and yeast. Sweet flavour, with light bitterness and long duration. Silky in the palate, high carbonation, medium body. Dark yellow colour, bubbly, with a creamy white head.

Pours vibrant gold with a large creamy head. Nose shows doughy yeast, cloves, some spicy noble hops and banana esters. Very light and refreshing. These aromas a mirrored in the flavours, with cloves and banana up first before some slightly hot alcohol and plenty of light sweet malt show through. Light body with carbonation that could be higher. This is remarkably similar to a hefe. Really refreshing.

Pours orange with a creamy white head. Bubbles cling to the side of the chalice. Aroma is of yeast, honeyed malts and herbal hops. Fizz is not excessive and the alcohol is completely hidden. Some saltiness there, reminiscent of a Manzanilla sherry. There’s fairly plain fruit sweetness and a spicy, just bitter finish. It’s not terribly complex, but it works fine.

Bottiglia da 75cl comprata da Bonanni, erano secoli che volevo provare anche questa versione ’standard’ delle famigerate trappiste olandesi, dopo aver assaggiato tripel e quadrupel (nessuna delle due particolarmente soddisfacenti, anzi la tripel manco tanto buona). La verso in un bicchiere slowfood piccolino, fa un pò di schiuma molto evanescente, il colore della birra è piuttosto malaticcio. Annuso, vabeh, tollerabile, penso: magari si potrà bere. In realtà è poco più di una Affligem, se vi piace il genere "ale belga anonima" ve la consiglio, io non le bevo volentieri cose così, però purtroppo mi capita. Avrei dovuto immaginarlo, ma senza assaggiare come potevo? Bah, La Trappe non riesce mai a convincermi. Mi manca però la dubbel, vedremo

33cl bottle poured into a La Trappe Trappist glass. Golden copper with minimal white head. Aroma is candy sugar and spice. Subtle flavors of fruit, spice. High carbonation. Finish is mildly bitter with a lingering spicy effervescence. An understated blond. Not bad.

A clear golden colored beer, with a nice foamy white head. The aroma of grains, malts and some fruits, like citrus. The taste is fresh fruity, citrus. There are sweets with a little bitter. The aftertaste is sweet with some bitter.
