    Koningshoeven known as La Trappe throughout the rest of world is indeed an aunthentic Trappist product. When Bavaria purchased La Trappe the Monastic Business Association in the US made Bavaria change the name in the US because the name La Trappe and Trappist Ale were too similar.

    However Koningshoeven is still a Trappist Ale (the only Dutch) besides the six Belgians: Westmalle, Chimay, Westvleteren, Rochefort, Orval and Achel. As a matter of fact Koningshoeven is a member of the ITA (International Trappist Association). This Association has allowed Koningshoeven as a real Trappist Ale.
