    Hello all,

    I ordered some Westvletern Blonde, 8, and 12. The 8 and 12 were dated xx/xx/17. The Blonde was dated xx/xx/15. I'm assuming ALL westvleteren have a 3 year best by date, however, the Blonde was fantastic, very fresh. Do they list a 1 year date on that ?

    The reason I ask is that beers were dated around May so I figured they were bottled at the same time.

    Blonde has a 1 year best by date. But it still tastes very good even after 1 year.

    Yep. At one year the Blonde is tightly knitted dynamite. But fresh its a raw mess (IMHO).
