Blond (6.5% alcohol) is a clear, sparkling lager of high fermentation, attuned to European taste and always good. It is characterized by the use of refined hops, giving the beer a slightly bitter aftertaste and a distinctively refreshing but fragrant aroma.

[1] Review by Jne5HusG from Le Havre, France who has tried this beer once. (3/21/2010 8:10:01 AM)
"330 ml bottle. Poured in the original La Trappe goblet a hazy orange-copper colored ale with a small one finger slight beige foamy head that had a short retention. Active carbonation. Some lacing. The aroma is moderate sweet grainy malts, fruits, bananas. The flavour is sweet malts, fruity, apricots, bananas, some bitterness. The mouthfeel is crispy, to note, the appearance of a slight sourness by warming. This medium bodied ale has a slight dry bitter finish. I attended more from an Authentic TRAPPIST Product!"

[2] Review by vanderla from Sydney, Australia who has tried this beer once. (11/7/2006 12:42:30 AM)
"Poured into a large wine glass. Very bubbly, with rocky head. Pale amber / honey, with some yeast haze when finishing bottle.
Fruity esters, maybe pear, pineapple, kiwi fruit. Cara/crystal malts, floral hop.
Sweetish, perfumy esters, tropical fruit, touch of honeycomb, Very complex, with subtleties everywhere. Finishes semi-sweet, light bittereness, herbal aftertaste, light zing.
Lightly sweet, sour, & bitter.
Medium body, finishes richly.
Great beer, with a reasonably high ABV for a Blonde/BPA.

[3] Review by rainman from Alexandria, VA, USA who has tried this beer once. (7/30/2006 4:20:44 PM)
"Pours a light yellow with a huge white head. Mellow aroma of fruit and bread. Flavor is sweet and light, but quite a terrific beer for the price. Wish I could get it a little easier."

[4] Review by Jutumull from Tallinn, Estonia who has tried this beer once. (7/21/2006 5:24:57 PM)
"Very nice golden color. Much foam, but don't worry, it will dissapear quite fast. Tastes, like the Belgian beer, if you know, what I mean:) No really, it's the milder version of... well, for example Duvel... Really good beer. It's not as strong as usual abbey beer. but has the same taste and aroma buquet, so i suggest You try it."

"Draught. Dark golden/pale amber colour, minor white head. Strong banana and malts in aroma, also other fruits noteable (orange and passionfruit). Flavour is strong caramel and banana with hints of malts and some flowery hops becoming present in finish. "
