Bottle. Millesime 2018. Color: Clear golden, white head. Aroma: Malt, forest fruit, hints of yeast. Taste: Over medium sweet, malty, notes white sugar, sweet (blue)berries, peach, yeast, light hints of grapes. Moderate bitterness. Alcohol is well hidden.

Candied apple and lots of booze like you got drunk in the Belgian candy shop. Some citrus, and florals. Hazy golden pour with good foamy head and lacing. Tap at Soveriegn

2nd October 2017: 75cl bottle, BB 2021. Cheers Mat for bringing this to the monthly Shrewsbury Beer Exchange meeting. Misty golden pour, white topping. Yeasty aroma, taste was boozy, fruity and semi-sour: half Saison, half Belgian Strong Ale.

75cl bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie Oct 17. Courtesy of myself. Pours a misty gold, small foamy brilliant-white head. Lovely fresh saison-like aroma. Taste is balanced, strong, smooth with a nice soft yeasty character, some bubblegum-like sweetness emerging. Excellent strong Saison-like belgian strong ale.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass; 2017 vintage bottling, batch No. 2. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy golden amber/light orange color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big lemon, orange, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red apple, white grape, peppercorn, and lightly toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of banana, bubblegum, clove, honey, nuttiness, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, bready malt, and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, orange, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red apple, white grape, peppercorn, and lightly toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of banana, bubblegum, clove, honey, nuttiness, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate yeast spiciness and herbal/grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red apple, white grape, peppercorn, honey, biscuit, nuttiness, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, bready malt, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitter/spiciness, lightly increasing through the glass. Medium-plus carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/sticky, and slightly syrupy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Mildly increasing warmth of 10% after the finish. Overall this is an excellent Belgian strong pale ale! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, bready malt, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on for the big ABV. Perfectly balanced yeast and malt flavors, with very well rounded complexities. Never overly sweet or heavy feeling for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

Déception sur cette Rulles 10 millésime 2017. N’ayant pas testé les précédents millésimes, je ne saurai faire de comparaison, mais ce cru 2017 surprend et déçoit par une présence épicée trop présente, écrasant tous les arômes. En verre, cette Rulles est blond abricot (EBC de 15), voilée et parcourue par de très fines bulles conférant une mousse blanche et crémeuse de 2 cm d’épaisseur environ. Le nez est classique sur un houblon floral et herbacé, avec une pointe de citron et légèrement épicé. L’attaque se porte prioritairement sur le malt, suave sur des arômes fleuris, d’agrumes et épicée. La deuxième bouche s’équilibre entre malt et houblon. Cependant les épices commencent à monter en puissance et à écraser les autres arômes. L’arrière bouche, quant à elle, plus sur l’amertume, apporte une touche de fraîcheur appréciable en complément de notes poivrées. A compter de la troisième bouche l’alcool se fait davantage sentir avec des arômes épicés qui deviennent alors trop intenses. Le final est d’une longueur juste acceptable où l’alcool s’affirme entièrement, mais où les aromes épicés très prégnants ne laissent percevoir que quelques notes herbacées. Le sucre, bien présent, ne fait finalement que peu sentir les 10 % Abv. Quant à l’amertume : à part l’arrière bouche, complètement noyée par le sucre, l’alcool et les épices. L’impression est donc loin des 50 d’BU affichés. En conclusion, cette Rulles 10, millésime 2017 n’a rien d’une grande et présente trop de défauts pour cette belle brasserie. J’espère que 2018 me contredira.
