Trappist Westvleteren Blond

Trappist Westvleteren Blond is a beer (and the other two) found only at the brewery/gift shop. This is 5.8% ABV and is from Vleteren, Belgium. It is brewed by the monks of the Saint-Sixtus Abby. I brought this and their other beer home from a visit to their restaurant and gift shop. This Blond is the beer that the monks drink. This beer pours yellow with a three-finger creamy white head. That head seems to stick forever. The aroma is sweet, lemon, light bitterness, and slight yeast. The flavor is fruity lemon, smooth, dry, light on hops, and light-bodied. This has a lighter mouthfeel. Then it has a dry fruity finish with some sweetness. The aftertaste is dry-ish, fruity, and refreshing. This Westvleteren Blond is very delicious and is an A. It has such good flavors that all come through/together and make one tasty beer. If you ever get to Vleteren, Belgium I suggest you have a meal with all their beers including this Blond and their ice cream made with their beer. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
