The Gauloise Ambrée is characterized by a hoppy aroma. It will give you a range of varied flavors. It is highly digestible and refreshing. This beer with its reddish robe is a little more dense than the blonde, with a more voluptuous side. The nose is marked with hints of hazelnut, caramel, orange and fruity hops. The mouth’s slight bitternes linked to the subtle liquorice, allows the pleasure to last longer. The finish is round, supple, without sweetness.

This one has a well balanced fruity bitterness. Full-ish flavour for the strength but still light and easy to drink.

Fra flaske på Cardinaltreff nov-12: høyt skum! En hel bærhage - søtlig og med lett bitterhet. Gjrø seg nok best i små mengder, tror jeg. Prøver det gjerne igjen.

A beautiful, cloudy, orange beer with a medium and blond head. Aroma is fruitfull and aromatic, "belgianfruits", spicyness and even some parfume. Taste is also "belgian"fruity, spicyness and herbs. Good, but unfortunately taste is too mild and short. Medium- bodied, lots of carbonation, easily to drink. Everything are in place, but too modesty and lightness bothers from beginning to end.

Brown dumpy 33cl bottle, best before 3 Sept 2012, poured into a Hoegaarden Grand Cru stemmed tulip a year earlier. No sediment left the bottle, so my beer was a clear amber colour with a large dose of head, white and clean looking: the head gave some good lacing as the beer level sank. Toffee molasses in the aroma. Thin in body depth, but not weak in flavour: malts dominate, however a tart bitterness is just below the surface and this didn’t sit well with me at all. This is another Bocq beer that fails to float my boat.

Bottle at home. Pours a deep amber colour and is pretty hazy. A big frothy light beige head. Medium carbonation. Feels fresh in the nose and slightly acidic with perfumy aromas of bread, spices, fruits and berries. Proper belgian ale aromas. The flavours are hard to disitinguish but appears as a mix of sweet and acidic fruits, and also berries towards sweet cherries and red currant. The fruityness reminds me a little bit of sweet soda. Feels slick and light in the mouth with light bitterness.Overall a belgian ale with high quality and joyful aromas and flavours.

0.33l bottle. A near clear caramel-golden beer with a nice big and kinda lasting off-white head. It has a aroma that's not to extreme. Some nice sweet and fruity tones of Belgian yeast and malts. Average carbonated and a watery mouthfeel and texture. Dry in the mouth this one. Quite watery and blend flavors actually. Nothing bad, just a bit plain and boring perhaps? Long dry finish, but it's really lacking some flavor this one!
