One of the younger additions to the Rulles portfolio, a light and hoppy quencher, something this brewery should excel at. Frothy, egg-white, thick and stable, membrane-lacing head on a misty apricot-golden blonde robe. Aroma of fresh lemonbalm, white bread crust, freshly cut grass, young wormwood leaf, green apple peel, pear blossom, raw turnip, freshly grated raw potato, dandelion, clove, chalk, radish. Dryish onset, hard pear and green banana, touch Granny Smith perhaps, fizzy carb with minerally effects, supple body - feeling less thin than expected at this ABV. Bread-crusty, grainy pale malts with phenolic touches of clove and nutmeg on top - until the 'holy' hops take over, adding a long, drying, leafy and earthy bitterness with elements of lemon pith, wormwood, white pepper and sedge. In spite of the earthy element and the spicy phenols, the whole remains crisp and quenching. Very summery, grassy and floral Belgian blonde, typical for Rulles' output in several ways, convincing enough to maintain that this brewery is notably accomplished in traditional Belgian ales, as true connoisseurs have known for years.

Draft @ Marché des Producteurs Luxembourgeois, Place Lux Ixelles. Avec en plus les explications de Greg, le brasseur, sur cette bière et la Houblon Sauvage.
Léger trouble dorée/pâle estival, col blanc épais et crémeux.
Arôme est frais bien houblonné avec un mosaic qui se suffit à lui-même, le tout garde une approche belge solide avec un effluve délicat sur les agrumes/pin, herbes et fruits à noyaux.
Palais est plaisant, finement sur les grains, petit ipa session avec du corps et en houblon Mosaic en appui qui confère de fines notes fleuries, pointes herbacées et agrumes.

Bottle from Willems en Zoon Grobbendonk. Color: Lightly hazy golden, frothy white head. Aroma: Hoppy, herbal. Like a hoppy Saison. Taste: Hoppy, notes of lemon, herbal and spicy notes, Saison yeast. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Long lasting bittery and spicy finish. A lot of taste for such relatively low alcohol beer. Great Belgian IPA.
