La pionnière ! A Rulles, on aime l’amertume et on aime boire en quantité sous le soleil de Gaume. Il fallait répondre à ce besoin. En 2004, la bière du quatrième anniversaire, que l’on décida de garder, devint l’année suivante l’Estivale. Aves ses notes d’agrumes et sa grande fraîcheur, c’est une pionnière des bières légères en alcool et de grand caractère.

Bottle. Color: Clear golden, stable white head. Aroma: Fresh hop, fruity, hints of yeast. Taste: Very smooth, malt, citrus hop, grassy, subtle bretty yeast notes, hints of caramel, banana, peach, grapefruit and brown sugar. Medium body, average carbonation. Long lasting bitter fruity finish. Very nice complexity for a relatively low alcohol beer.

75cl bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, July 18, brought by me. Pours misty deep gold, frothy pure white head. Sweet yeast on the nose, crisp bright moderately sweet saison character. Deliciously balanced, the Orval yeast bringing good clarity and life to the Amarillo hoping. Another great saison from Rulles.

28 April 2018, at Zythos Bierfestival. Deputy Taster: Anke. Clear ochre with a lasting, foamy, white head; some lacing. Aroma of yeast, mandarin & orange, pineapple, bready malt, citrus, honey, herbs, 'garden flowers & plants'. It tastes light to medium fruity & malty sweet and light to medium hoppy bitter, hints of bread & yeast. Dry, hoppy, spicy finish. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Elegant and balanced; at only 5.2% this is very good. 75cl bottle from Geers. Best before: 2/2020. Lots of yeast in the aroma, unbaked bread, apple peel, pepper, hay. Sweetish low estery profile in the taste, banana, apple; spicy pepper, bitter hay, sourish wheat in the back. Grassy hoppy finish, spices, dried fruit & straw.

Bottle from 100 pív. Oh yes, this is anything but InBev. This piece steps out of the Belgian ale uniformity and gives some more back. In here it's the hoppy character which surprised me in a good way most of all. Well balanced, very refreshing. Well done folks, well done.

Shared bottle at Mi2 at Cardinal 04.09.17. Hazy pale straw colour. White head and lacing. Relatively moderate aroma, with fresh hops, meadows and grass. Fine and refreshing taste, with hops, grass and some citrus. Similarly fine aftertaste.
