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.

Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a thin white head. Aroma of pale malt, light lemons, a hint of grassy hops and a very light and mild scent. Light to Medium-bodied; Good grassy hop flavour at first with some very pale malt/wheat flavours and a definite lemon and citrus flavour. Aftertaste shows more lemons and wheat than anything else, but a bit of herbal and grassy flavours show a hint of hops at the end. Overall, a nice and light summer beer that shows some good flavours, but nothing complex nor earth-shattering. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Arrowine in Arlington, Virginia and given to me by a hockey teammate on 17-April-2013.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market Charlottesville, Another foray into obscure fruits from these guys. Yet again. Pours a very pale amber color with a medium sized frothy white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of syrupy, tropical fruits with some strawberry, melon and mild earth. The taste is earthy, herbal and peppery with lemon and pale malts. The taste does not match the aroma much at all. Medium bodied, slight lingering bitterness. Interesting.

Pours clear, light gold, with a cottony white head. Aroma is slightly yeasty, very floral. Taste is a soft floral bitter, citrus, lightly belgian-styled.... I’d like to be more descriptive, but I honestly have no point of reference on "soursop and monk fruit"... Therefore I’ll give it a slightly above average rating...not bad, really....different, a pretty nice taste.

Clear light gold with a rather thick lace - aroma of tart citrus, lightly bitter herbs, floral notes, a light touch of mineral - moderate carbonation - fairly dry in flavor, which is nice, but its a bit overly bitter, especially on the tail end (tastes like an herbal bitterness rather than hops - perhaps this is the soursop, but I am not familiar with what that tastes like) - some tart citrus, a light peppery character - mineral bite on the end - some nice stuff happening, but that bitterness is too much and lingers for way too long on the tongue.
