Rolle Bolle is a wonderfully fun Belgian yard game and a delightfully easy summer ale. Brewed with monk fruit and soursop it stays true to the Belgian tradition of playing with beer and all that goes into it. Roll on.

Bottle. Poured a real anemic pale, yellow color with a fizzy white head. Aroma was real light, touch of spices. Flavor was mostly light malts, with notes of whatever fruits or spices they’ve added to this one.

Pours a light golden color and leaves the same color body with a half finger semi-white head that concaves gently into the body leaving a soapy looking bubbly lacing, smell is faint grainy grass, a little wheat, lemon, and other citrus - is that what monkfruit smells like - alright, but no yeast - ok - so what I guess - I dunno, the taste is slightly bitter yet sour but also slightly sweet through the wheat and citrus fruits, dry citrus aftertaste and finish, once again no yeast anywhere, pretty easy on the palatte, nothing bad, and nothing special, overall - hmm.... interesting take on a Belgian Pale Ale as no yeast is found anywhere throughout the entire six pack, quiet disclaimer to true Belgian fans, IMO, I don’t think you’ll like this, as it doesn’t seem yeasty enough

Location: Draft at Ginger Man - Houston, 7/23/13
Aroma: Sweet and yeasty nose, with some malts and fruit
Appearance: Clear gold colored pour with a half inch head, and some drippy lace
Flavor: Sweetish flavor, hints of spice/yeast, and plenty of fruit flavor
Palate: Light-medium bodied beer, with average carbonation, and a light dry finish
Overall Impression: Basically, I found this one to be an alright Belgian inspired summer beer, but nothing special. That's about it...

Very dense & fine, just yellowish head, lacey, over clear yellow-golden beer with very little carbonation. Arachide, peanuts, fatty acids (?). Bitter, rather coarse hops, and again the arachideflavour from fatty acids - or from the zuurzak and/or siraitia... But as how those might taste, I haven’t a clue... Bit spritzy, light body, slick. Monkfruit? Soursop?? I’d never even heard from them before. As ot (rolle) bollen, that’s played in our very street, but the participants eat smoutebollen and drink Jupiler - suggesting zuurzak would be met with some acid comments, I fear... Thanks to DickH for the long haul!

Bottle. Pours a pretty clear light gold with a big frothy head and pungent aromas of Belgian yeast and some sort of fruitiness. Flavor is also sort of \"pungent...\" with a new-to-me fruitiness that is sort of like a sweet grapefruit or something. It’s not bad, but pretty different. Apart from the new flavor, the beer is pretty crisp and refreshing with a decent balance to the whole thing.

Tap at Moon River, Savannah. It pours very pale yellow with a small white head. The nose is light, sweet, fruity, grape, grassy, straw and light spice. The taste is smooth, crisp, stone fruit, prickly pear, melon, citrus, grain, straw, hay, pepper and a touch of bitterness with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not a whole lot of depth, but it’s easy going and pretty drinkable.

On tap. Golden pour with a white head. Pale lagery aroma. Flavor is decent, if unexciting, pale-malty pale lager flavor, but with more hops, generally in the grassy area. Gets better as I go on. Not too much excitement, but it’s a quality version of the style... Except now I’m completely caught off guard that this is a Belgian Ale? Huh.
