Vintage bottle, best before 2003. Whales ! Pours unclear amber, not much head. Smell is Dusty and oxidized. Taste is mildly sweet , Sharp oxidation. Some maderization. Not too bad to be honest. Bit thin , Woody aftertaste due to the age

Tasted about twelve years ago when this was quite popular for a while. An amber coloured rendition of the Grimbergen brand, with loose, off-white head and sweetish character of caramelly and slightly nutty malts, apple and some spiciness, mild bitterish finish, but artificial and a bit bland like the other Grimbergen beers.

Bottled (1999 vintage)@Belgobaren, Stockholm (old backlog from about 2010). Rubyish amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is bready, mild toasted and ripe fruity notes along with some slight yeasty notes. Flavour is yeast, mild spices, ripe fruits and some slight sweet maltyness. Mild notes of alcohol pushing through as well.

Hazy light amber color. Just some caramel; reasonably bitter; not special, but drinkable.

An amber beer with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and citrus. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, straws, berries, and with a light dry finish. I had expected more.

Gushing to fluffy thick head, slowly dimidnishing. Orange-amber beer, clear. Faint crystal malt odour, faint citrussy arome. Taste is restrained to a light, cookie-like, light-roasted malt taste. bubblegum flavour. Very bland, uninspiring taste. Light bodied. No discernable aftertaste, but a faint cookie-flavour. Roussa is interesting for some of S&N markets, and superfluous for the beergeek.
