The majority of members of [http://beeradvocate.com/top_beers.php BeerAdvocate.com] and [http://www.ratebeer.com/Ratings/Ratings-Top50.asp RateBeer.com] , two beer rating websites, consistently rate the Westvleteren 12 as their most enjoyable beer; the 8 and the Blonde also rank highly on both sites.]
