May 21, 2006 Bottle. Pours a golden-orange and a large, rocky white head. The aroma has lots of spice, yeasty cookies, and bread. Light bread starts out and the hops follow. Medium carbonation. Yeast length is significant as it gives a good amount of body and there is surprisiingly a lot of hop flavour and bitterness; oranges are resultant and are quite flavourful. There is also some fruit in the way of pears and apples. Excellent and great to drink in all aspects.
Had this at the Kulminator on May 17, 2006.

May 20, 2006 Pale amber. Nice complex aroma -- hops and yeast and a bit nutty (?!). Fresh. Stands out among blondes, but definitely overrated.

May 12, 2006 Updated: Dec 6, 2008Large white head with a cloudy, golden body. Fruit aroma. Complex fruit flavour with an unusual hopppy bitterness for a blonde. Bitter finish. Reminds me of Orval but with more dimensions. It’s very enjoyable.

May 10, 2006 Blonde beer - large head but very airy with loads of bubbles -- the head reduces over 1-2 minutes to thin foam. Smells something like lemon meringue pie, lke Hoegaarden with lempn, but without the added lemon. Creamy drinking experience with a fresh citrus taste. Solid wheat undertones but not overpowering. Excellent beer expecially for warmish weather. Like the other westvleteren beers it is an unmarked bottle but this time with a raised ridge around the neck reading ’trappistenbier’.

May 6, 2006 Clear yellow with a big and lasting head. Fruit, hay, leather and malt in a somewhat weak aroma. Sweet flavour with a sharp bitterness hitting in the finish.

Apr 14, 2006 Bottle. Beautiful head, color. Not a whole lot of aroma. Good flavor gets better as beer warms.

Apr 10, 2006 Bottle. Nice lasting head. Color is light golden and a bit hazy. Aroma is fruit and hops. Taste is not as sweet and fruity as a regular blonde (to my disappointment) but way more bitter and hoppy. Sediments left in bottle. Really good mouthfeel. Having tasted the 8 and 12 from westvleteren - this was a major disappointment.
