The beer pours a lightly hazed gold colour with a geberous frothy white head which lasts about 20 minutes and leaves great lacing. The aroma is grainy malt, Trappist yeast, citrus, and candy sugar. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is light grains, light wheat, sweet malt, and finishes dry.

Pours clear solar yellow with a thick ivory head. Aroma delivers sweet stonefruit, butterscotch, resiny hops. Flavor presents sweet stonefruit, mainly nectarine and peach, plus bitter piney hops and butterscotch. Texture gives nice firm body and lively fizz. Extra, extra, drink all about it.

Fairly clean, light golden-yellow colour with a big frothy white head, good retention and some foamy patches of lacing. Sweet malt nose with some wheat notes of bananas and hints of herbal hops that do help. These hops do help even more in the taste. Pear flavours with enough dryness to cut the sweet malts. The bananas are still present, but really not offensive (oversweet) like the nose gives out to be. This aroma sweetness does calm down with time, and a little haze appears. Quite a nice light Trappist ale.

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 4.8%. Pale golden colour, vigorously carbonated, large white head. Pleasant aroma of Trappist yeast, yellow fruits and mild spices. Fizzy mouthfeel. The flavour has the same elements as the aroma, with surprisingly distinct bittering hops in the aftertaste.

Bottle courtesy of Fonefan: Poured a clear golden color ale with a huge foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry malt base with a floral hoppy touch as well. Taste is a mix between some dry malt base with some Poppering hops, which provide a slightly dry finish with some floral notes. Full body with some great carbonation. Definitely an interesting beer to try and a refreshing Belgian ale that would be fun to try more often but in the end I would go to the Westy blonde instead of this.

Thanks to sk8viking for this beer. Pours yellow gold, hazy with a foamy white head. The aroma is yeasty. The flavor is a bit yeasty with some citrus backbone. Great beer on a hot day.

Deep golden colour with a large frothy white head. Sweet and and fruity aroma of red apples and strawberries. Small yeasty notes. Fruity flavour of yellow plums with a dry yeasty finish. Very good but a bit expensive session ale.
