Beers similar to Trappist Westvleteren Blond

Ale·Belgium·5.8% ABV·One of 56 Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Trappist Westvleteren Blond's dry and fruity character. Fresh, fruity aroma of citrus with a zest of lime opens this slightly cloudy blond; on the palate, malt sweetness meets a firm hop bitterness, a delicate citrus note carries through, and the finish runs dry. At 5.8 % it replaced the dark Westvleteren 6 in 1999 as a fresher take on it, and it keeps maturing in the bottle.
