Depends what you get. All of the craft/Trappist ones are seriously strong and it puts people off. I drink them all literally ice cold and they're less soup-like like that. Then you've got the mass produced stuff like Stella which twenty years ago used to be a great beer but now with modern brewing methods is brewed in eight days instead of eight weeks (like all big branded beers, some now brewed in three days) and is piss.
It's really hard to find a session 4-5% lager beer that's good quality. Belgium no different from anywhere else unfortunately. After my Duvel I'm drinking Urquell and that's not the same anymore either.
I don't drink mass-produced beer if I can avoid it; Stella is ass. I've become something of a beer snob in my old age.
I've tried a ton of different Belgian and Belgian-style beers, Trappist and otherwise, and I just didn't really like most of them. There are some I enjoy, but on the whole I'm just not a huge fan (unlike almost everyone else it seems).
I much prefer North American ales.
They're tricky to get over here. Brooklyn lager and Sam Adams is about it, although to be fair I've never looked on the net. The US seems to like superstrong IPAs/porters which I think are the worst styles to make as a strong beer. Plenty of good English ales over here but I'm in a lager mood tonight.
My fake dead girlfriend not impressed with my ring card girls comment.
Woof. Ring card girls.

Kellerman, Papa and ... SOG Ward? calling the action for HBO, Martinez vs. Burgos up first, fighters in the ring.
