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.

The next 8 or so beers were courtesy of pfoxyjohn. A late morning early afternoon tasting in the Barrrrn: Into the glass it pours a bright cloudy golden colour with a fairly large white head. Noticeable tartness or maybe lots of yeast, that could be it. Lemon peel, orange rind on the nose with a very astringent mouthfeel. Has a pleasent carbonation all the way down with thousands of tiny little bubbles dancing around the mouth.

Golden pour with thick white head. Malt and yeast aroma. Nice lacing on the glass. Little spicy aftertaste. Dry malty mouthfeel. Tasty.

Pours straw blond with a three finger frothy head that oddly starts as tight bubbles. Nice lacing sticks around. Nose is sweet with wheat and grain. The flavor is smooth and also a bit sweet with citrus. Quite refreshing with a mildly sweet finish.

Bottle courtesy of Superdave70. Pale aroma of wheat and spice. Hazy yellow body with good white cramy head and some decent lacing. Flavor started out with a wheat and spicey bittering. But middle o finish bitterness subsided and the cramy texure of head added some fruit cream flavor which was good. Dry on the palate asthespicey bitter that disipated earlier reappears and lingers. Good brew, thanks Dave.
