Good luck pronouncing the name of this one. I'm not sure if I've seen so many vowels in the one place. I really need to go to Belgium at some point. Belgian/Trappist beers aren't actually my no.1 preference, but the sheer breadth of versatile beers they produce is absolutely mind boggling. They are one of the very few countries that mass produce quality beers on a wide scale.
Almost each and every one of these beers is a piece of art. This is a 7.5% Golden Ale, and I've drunk light beers that are harsher. While the beer pours an unassuming transparent fizzy yellow, the taste is something to behold. The feel is weighted but still smooth, almost in a 70's Elvis-like fashion. The concoction tastes of spiced citric fruits, infused with stinging carbonation and a bitter finish.
Definite summer beer, extremely easy to drink but still packing as significant a kick as Roberto Baggio's penalty shot. With a six pack of these out in the son you would be three sheets to the wind in no time. Not as good as the Tripel Karmeleit, but probably just agonisingly close to the Duvel. That is the most respectable last place I can imagine.
7.5
