Graby (87) - Aarhus, DENMARK - NOV 11, 2021UPDATED: NOV 11, 2021 75cL bottle at home
Hazy, but transparent golden with a small white head. Weak aroma of the all familiar yeast used by many trappist breweries, notes of orange. Mild, somewhat fruity taste with a bit of malty sweetness. Alcohol is present, but balanced. Texture is foamy and watery. Admittedly not my preferred style.

kamilgrzeszczak (418) - POLAND - OCT 27, 2021UPDATED: OCT 27, 2021 08-2023 Aromat słodu, drożdży i przypraw czyli taka Belgia oraz banan.
Złociste opalizujące, biała piana opada
W smaku trochę wytrawne aczkolwiek trochę słodkości jest, ale takiej zbożowej, goryczka niska raczej taka przyprawowa
Nagazowanie średnie, lekkie, orzeźwiające, bez ostrości.
Ogólnie piwo do wypicia w stylu, raczej dobre, takie na codzień
lucyfer (617) - POLAND - OCT 26, 2021UPDATED: OCT 26, 2021 W aromacie głównie: przyprawy, gałka muszkatołowa, kolendra, galaretka owocowa, biały pieprz.
Smak słodki, wyczuwalne owoce pestkowe, galaretka wiśniowa, wiśnie, jest trochę fenoli, takich jak gałka muszkatołowa, zioła prowansalskie.
Pełnia średniowysoka, nagazowanie średnioniskie, goryczka średnia ziołowa.
one51 (1349) - - SEP 27, 2021UPDATED: SEP 27, 2021 Bottle from metro. Clear yellow-gold amber with medium head. Sweet honey-flowery nose with some fruity yeast notes. Lightly sweet and moderately complex flavor with rounded caramel background. The simplest but perhaps most quaffable of the La Trappe family.
DraftPupil66 (429) - - AUG 24, 2021UPDATED: AUG 24, 2021 33cl bottle from Auchan store drinking it on 24/08/2021 BB 09-2023 Pours a slightly pale hazy yellow golden with thin soft white foam on top and good lacing. Really good, rich aroma with hints of belgian yeast, malt, fruits including banana and apricot, cloves, vanilla, honey, spices and flowers, candi sugar. Taste is more light and delicate than expected from the aroma with a good sweetness and mostly yeasty and fruity flavours, and a more spiced and slightly sour/ light bitter finish with some malty/grainy note about it too. Not overwhelming sweet overall and very good to sip even if not the most complex La Trappe. Still very pleasant and rich tasting. Medium body and a bit creamy, oily texture, medium carbonation. Slightly dry and sticky aftertaste which call for another sip. Good trappist with a nice flavour but I wouldn't mind some more intense taste, will definitely try again.
brexitgiftshop (77) - GERMANY - AUG 4, 2021UPDATED: AUG 4, 2021 Bottle design underwhelming... Dull yellowy beige zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Lovely opaque, cloudy gold, little head.
Aroma at first underwhelms, a little fruity, esters, malty, yes.
Tastes great though! Wow!
Sweet, breaking through to some banana, almost haribo, moves into bitter afters. Lovely trip! Encore!
Really invites another sip!
Big full mouthfeel, nice creamy carbonation.
Great beer! At 6% tastes a little sweet boozy after a few swigs!
linus (509) - - JUL 19, 2021UPDATED: JUL 19, 2021 Belgian yeast. Notable banana esters. Some cloves and spices. Apricot. Lively carbonation. No complex flavours. Light alcohol warmth, typical of belgian ales. Straight forward. Pleasant and enjoyable belgian blonde.
wts (32) - - JUN 22, 2021UPDATED: JUN 22, 2021 La Trappe Trappist Blond lekker vol smakend biertje. Met de lichte geur van banaan en een licht zoete volle smaak van banaan en zoete peer
PubTun33 (279) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 27, 2021UPDATED: MAY 27, 2021 330ml brown glass bottle from Drinkers Paradise in Kentish Town for £4.12. Dated as best before 06/2023 and served having been out of refrigeration for about thirty minutes into the La Trappe branded chalice.
The beer pours a lively golden orange colour with a small even white head. Lots of small bubble carbonation. As the beer goes down the colour seems to lose the orange notes a look more like a fizzy turmeric infused water.
On the nose the beer has that Belgian yeast quality that all La Trappe beers do. Ripe banana, citrus peelings. Not the most intense of aromas but still interesting.
On taste the beer follows the aroma. Mainly yeast, banana and confectioners sugar. Some lemon peel and a nice level of spice.
As the beer goes down a slight alcohol warmth comes to the throat and stomach. A short lived aftertaste that follows the drink. Good carbonation and clean.
Overall, a nice solid Belgian blonde ale. Some typical La Trappe notes about it. The next level up from Leffe without being world class.
happydaddy (382) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 23, 2021UPDATED: MAY 23, 2021 Pours golden orange with a nice white head. Malty and yeasty aroma, fruity, light spicy. Sweet and light bitter taste. Medium oily body with soft carbonation.
