Trappist Achel 8 Blond

Trappist Achel 8 Blond

A pale, strong, fruity, hoppy Trappist ale from one of Belgium’s six official abbey breweries. Achel 8° is hard to find even in Belgium; in the U.S. it’s up there with the rarest of beers. This blond, flavorful beer is a surprisingly refreshing brew at 8% alcohol by volume. It is lightly filtered, but still wholesomely hazy with yeast remaining and refermenting in the bottle.

3.2 Schöne Getreidenase, im Trunk ähnlich gelagert, leichte Bitternoten, Cognac, dezente Süße. Hohe Drinkability, guter Durchschnitt im Trappistenbereich.
3.8 大裤衩地下超市购入的阿诗金 比利时修道院 酒精度8带来香甜麦芽味 可以说有某种水果味 但我说不出来 也许是香蕉?口中回味很绵长 嘴唇上沾满了香甜 虽然还是有点粘粘的 高酒精度里是我喜欢的那类
3.7 Flaska från beerhouseshop.be. Mörkt gyllengul öl med ett vitt skum. Doft och smak av jästkryddighet, malt, apelsin och värmande alkohol.
3.4 Goudgeel bier licht wazig met een dikke volle schuimkraag fruitig met smaken van banaan, caramel, citrus en een klein appelsmaakje
4.3 Lätt rökig och lite rostad ton.
4.0 Buona bevuta
3.2 Golden, slightly hazy. With a generous but diminishing white head. Aroma: Malts (hay, grains) and herbal hops, not a lot of fruits. Yeast quite notable. Mouth: Good balance of sweet and bitter. Medium body, smooth texture.
3.7 Triple fruitée et assez amère
3.4 Two years in a bottle. Great foam! Golden amber color, slightly hazy. Nose. Spicy, flowery, some fruit and malt. Taste. Spicy yeast, malty with light hints of citrus. Long, bitter, hoppy aftertaste. Yes.... too much hops. I will still choose another Trappist.

3.9 God blond med bitter eftersmag. Ikke så kraftig
3.4 Aroma: Fruity and floral with little yeast. Flavour: Fruity sweet with citrus and sweet berries. Aftertaste is sweet with herbal notes. Colour: Amber with a white head. From: Bottle @ BilligSpecialØl webshop.
4.3 Very clear blond appearance and poured with a massive head that took some time to dissipate.Slightly hoppy flavour but vey reserved considering its strength which makes it dangerously easy to drink. Very smooth and all round delicious. This one impressed me a lot-one of the best this year.
3.7 Flaska. Mörkorangefärgad med ett smutsvitt skum. Dofter av kryddor, apelsin, malt och jäst. Smakinslag av kryddor, örter, övermogen frukt, malt och socker. Värmande alkohol, medel mot fyllig kropp.
3.6 Bottle @Delirium Café (Rome). Dorata, abbastanza limpida, schiuma bianca media, molto persistente. Al naso esteri, note di frutta gialla, malto, leggera speziatura, floreale. In bocca è dolce all'attacco, fruttata e maltata, con chiusura appena amara, non bilanciatissima. Corpo medio-pieno, carbonazione media. Manca un po' di secchezza e l'alcol risulta un po' invadente.
3.0 Springt er niet uit
4.4 33cl bottle from online store, drinking it on 29/03/2021 and best before 11/06/2022. Pours hazy, pale golden with thin bubbly pearl white foam and lots of lacing. Aroma is inviting if not the most perceptible one among the trappist beers, there's belgian yeast, lots of fruit, spiciness. Full, big taste of sweet fruits (citrus but also something more flowery), yeast, grassy hops and spices, pale malt - very sweet and mellow but great flavour that i really love. Medium-high carbonation, medium body with a generous 8% of alcohol but very well hidden. Truly love this one.
3.6 T: dolce malt, legg spez, med amaro legg alcol C: M/B
4.0 Belle bière blonde dorée. Au service, belle mousse blanche mais qui retombe assez rapidement. Un nez malté très subtile. Une bouche équilibrée, maltée, herbacée et houblonnée qui procure une amertume très agréable. Une finale à mon goût un peu moins agréable, sur une amertume trop « verte ». Une bière très agréable !
3.6 Bottle. Clear golden body with lively carbonation and a big, frothy white head. Aroma has pale malt, spicy yeast, esters and a bit herbal. Taste is sweet pale malt, cane sugar, spicy and herbal with a fruity touch. Well balanced even as it feels rather sweet on the teeth. Balanced body and same aftertaste. Nothing outrageous but a well made classic Belgium ale that feels somewehere in-between a Blond and a Tripple.
4.0 Blonde voilée dorée surmontée d'un col de mousse blanc bien calibré, tenue moyenne. Nez assez discret, malté, légèrement épicé. Bouche maltée, levurée et correctement houblonnée qui révèle une amertume et un biais vert agréable. Rondeur gourmande et bel équilibre. Finale moyennement et agréablement amère, levurée. Corpulence moyenne, carbonatation moyenne. Blonde belge forte fort buvable, parfaitement équilibrée, belle amertume.
4.2 Tanta schiuma a grana medio fine, forte aroma di fiori e frutta, piacevole gusto di malto dolce fruttato e retrogusto poco amaro.
3.8 苦度很低。與其單喝,可能更適合佐餐。有一些在德國啤酒出現的氣味。單喝太甜膩。
4.2 Slightly cloudy pale gold in colour, huge lingering white head. Not much of an aroma - faint malt. Taste, biscuit, dried winter fruits - raisins and prunes, demerera, brandy - very sweet finish, almost syrupy, some spice. Very pleasant blonde beer with an alcoholic kick.
5.0 Excellente
