Trappist Westvleteren Blond is a bottle-conditioned beer. For bottle conditioning, a small amount of yeast and sugar is added to the beer during bottling. This yeast will always be visually present at the bottom of the bottle. This yeast sediment is harmless.

Storage conditions

• Never in direct sunlight
• Store bottles upright
• Recommended storage temperature: 8 - 12 °C

Serving tips

• Recommended serving temperature: 6 - 8 °C
• Preferably pour into a goblet.
• Try to pour the bottle gently in one motion, leaving the yeast sediment in the bottle. This yeast sediment is harmless, but it gives the beer a bitter aftertaste and makes it cloudy. If desired, this yeast sediment can be consumed separately afterwards.
