Formerly La Trappe and La Trappe Mandarina Bavaria Witte
The world’s first and only white Trappist ale that continues to ferment slightly after bottling. Brewed using only water, wheat, and hops. No herbs are added. Saphir hops give the ale its citrusy aroma. A real thirst-quencher on a hot summer’s day that also makes for a delicious drink at any other time of the year.

Bottle 0.33 L.
Very pale yellow, hazy body, with an large, frothy, white head, mostly diminishing with a good lacing.
Moderate-to-heavy hoppy (citrus) and malty (cereals) aroma; notes of spices (maybe coriander)
Moderate-to-heavy sweet malty flavour with a strong sour (yeasty) note.
Light-to-medium body with a oily texture; lively carbonation; astringency in the finish.
Not bad, even if with a strong acidic note.

Very elegant, lightly carbonated Belgian style white.
Smell, spicy and soms hints of orange.
Mouth feel and taste , full bodied, mildly sweet, light on bitter orange.
A very elegant drinkable Belgian style white.
Less aggressive in spices and citrus fruits as many competitors.
Might lack a little but of edge for the BA's that want big tastes.
Label does not say much, but suggest fruit aroma is coming from hopps and not from added ingredients.
I find that hard to believe, but good beer anyway.

Pours a pale golden color with a medium sized, fine pored head.
Aromas are defined by ripe banana, cloves and rock sugar.
Mouthfeel on this is light, very carbonated with a stony mineralic quality to it, leading to a very refreshing beer.
Tastes of bread dough, honey and toffee covered malts among lighter dried grass and an uplifting effervescence. Offers a little more rustic bread rind then with unripe bananas and a spicy, sticky sweetness. Finishes quite sprizzy, mineralic with a banana, allspice spiciness and underlying herbs.
Very refreshing with enough character to convince on the tongue.
