Commercial Description:
Westvleteren Blond is the basic beer for the monks’ own consumption, since 1999, when the former 6° dark ale (red cap) was finally discarded, after the 4° had already gone that path.

Poured. Pours a light gold with white head. Aroma is citric. Taste was very very hoppy with some spice. Long finish. Smooth

Pours light gold with a white head. Aroma is lemony, grassy, and really reminded me of Pine-sol. Taste was very hoppy, with some slight spice that didn’t really mesh well.

Bottle from Papsoe, sampled with Zinister. Thanks!
Pours cloudy yellow with a nice head and an aroma of Spring lemon, strawberry, and Sprite. Tingly lemon and coriander flavors with a subtle Pilsner finish. Coating mouthfeel. Pretty good; very refreshing.

If the good brothers are guilty of any sin, it is of sloth: they make only enough of this delightful beer to fund their abbey, whereas with a little more work, they could bring even more joy to the world. Simply put: the best blond you will ever have (even if you’re Joe DiMaggio).

[Bottle, thanks Yespr/Mpls crew] Pours hazy golden with a small white head. Get yeast and pear in the aroma. Taste is hops, yeast, malt, and spice. Medium mouthfeel. Long finish. Pretty smooth. Wow, I was surprised at how bad this one was.

Unclear hazy yellow with medium white head. Hoppy aroma with some fruits. Not your common trappist with a hoppy flavor. Don’t get the fuss about this one...

Sampled from the Yespr collection, shared at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours a clear light golden blonde brew with a creamy white head that has good retention and lacing. Aroma of light white bread, some tropical fruits, honey and a touch of yeast funk. Taste is light bodied, smooth, creamy with a spiced tropical fruit with light bread flavor. Finish is semi-sweet at first and then a light mild bitterness.
