THIS JOURNEY IS NOW COMPLETE! This was a challenge I undertook from Feb 2011 to Feb 2012. Thanks to everyone that kept me going! Feel free to read through and comment, I am now also periodically adding reviews here as I sample other beers that I did not come across during the challenge.

La Trappe Blond
What is this? I don't even...
This is a very full flavoured dutch beer that has a blend of hops, malt and a fruity tingle to it. It's damn original,
I'll give it that much. I can't remember tasting a beer like this.
It's pretty daring, it starts with a very strong fruity taste to it which I can't really pinpoint as to what it is, perhaps
just a different batch of hops. I will be honest, I'm actually not that huge on the particular flavour, but that's really
just personal opinion - I'm sure others might disagree. It really is dominating, the maltiness is all but overshadowed. It's also 6.5% alcohol, but it is only slightly noticeable.
This is a beer drinkers beer, casual drinkers will probly take it like a punch in the face. The flavours are huge and
unforgiving and caught me off guard with the opening sip. Was good for a try, but I won't going back.
