    33CL bottle at home, damn what an ordeal to get this beer, but it’s worth it, decent beer, clear golden beer with a white head, aroma is decent, taste is light bitter with a bit more bitterness at the end, good beer but there are better beers out there but I wouldn’t say no if I got the change to drink it again.

    From bottle at a tasting at Bar & Cigar. Slightly hazy pale golden with a white head. Mild fruity aroma with notes of Belgian yeast, malt and almonds. Light to medium body with slightly soft carbonation. Fairly mild in flavour, but not weak. Refreshing and easy drinkable. Far bettet than a pale lager.

    Bottle thanks to Fonefan: Poured a hazy yellow with a creamy off white head. Aroma is citrus, grain, and hops. Taste is a refreshing fruit with yeast and just enough hops to set it off. This makes me want to be a monk!

    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.
