Born in the 1960s, I was the first abbey ale to emerge from the quiet halls of Koningshoeven Abbey. Since then, I’ve become a beloved staple among monks and beer lovers alike — approachable, balanced, and a little bit spirited. You could say I helped put Dutch Trappist brewing on the map.

I pour a warm gold with a soft white head, releasing fruity, floral aromas and a whisper of spice. My taste is as inviting as a sunlit chapel — slightly sweet, gently bitter, with notes of caramel, malt, and a touch of clove. Every sip finishes clean and tingling, with just enough depth to keep you coming back.

Pair me with poultry, veal, soft cheeses, or even poffertjes if you're feeling indulgent. I may be humble in strength, but I, the La Trappe Blonde Ale, carry the very soul of the abbey in each bottle.
