On tap. Pours a clear amber with light head. Aromas of lemon wax, fruity esters and soft wheat. Flavors follow same with lots of additional black pepper that really seems to work for this relatively low ABV beer. Neat.

Aus der Flasche (Vintage 2014) im 2023-11 getrunken. Dieses dunkle Weihnachtsbier im belgischen Stil kommt klassisch malzig daher. Über die lange Flaschenlagerung hat sich die Süße deutlich abgebaut, aber es sind keine weitere komplexe Aromen entstanden wie andere ähnliche Biere diese Stiles es können. Der Körper ist eher leicht für diesen Stil und einfach zu genießen. Ein schönes Bier!

Bottle. Gold with a cm of dense white head. Aroma of yeasty dough, herbal lemon and orange. So it tastes with a fine fairly bitter and rather brackeny & spicy finish.

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.

1/XII/23 - 50cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home, BB: 9/XI/24 (2023-1119)

Clear blond yellow beer, big solid creamy to pillowy snow white head, a little stable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: nice, pretty fruity, peaches, some banana, sweet impression, a bit floral. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: surprisingly sourish start, I was not prepared for a sour beer! Clean acidity, fruity, lots of citrus, some grapefruit, more peaches, a bit lemony, pineapple, nice stuff!

75cl bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a hazy golden colour with a large thick foamy white head. Aromas of yellow fruits, bananas and pears with a little bit of floral and herbal notes. Taste has more of the same notes with some added peppery spice and some earthy hop on the dry finish. Medium body with average carbonation and slightly oily mouthfeel. Good Triple.

Bottle, 750 ml, shared with others. Brown with medium off white head. Malty, caramel, some dried fruits, bread, watery. Sweetish.
