schuimkroaat (391), Leuven, Belgium Feb 8, 2005 33 cl bottle, bbe 2007. With the last pour, honey coloured and hazy, with a small but relatively compact head. The aroma is wonderful, most of all hoppy, but there’re also notes of dried fruits and cherry candies... Aromatic hops take definitely over in the flavour. On the palate, rich, mellow, soft and full-bodied like honey, with a gentle bitterness which strikes a couple of seconds into the aftertaste. heemer77 (4294), Savannah, Missouri, USA Feb 5, 2005 From a 750ml bottle with a best by date of 2007. Poured a dark and bright gold. Huge white head. Aroma is soapy lemons and some bread crust. Also some herbal notes. The taste is citrus and herbs with some pepper in the finish. A crisp and light mouthfeel. Leaves me salivating. This is an interesting wit. bu11zeye (5430), Frisco, Texas, USA Feb 4, 2005 (750ml bottle) Pours a cloudy orange body with a large rocky off-white head. Aroma of banana and florals. Flavors of malt and fruit. diabel (1366), Aarschot, Belgium Jan 31, 2005 Bottle Clear, blond body. Off-white, creamy head. Fair lace. Lots of quite large particles. Nose of hops (citrus, orange peals). Lightly bitter initial flavour. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet finish. Walt (2289), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jan 27, 2005 Pour is orangey amber with a big tan head with the typical Rocs HUGE floaties...smell is yeasty with lots of clove and corriander and citric flavors...very sweet tasting...malts galore with some interesting bitterness toward the end...extreme, but still a white... lachesis (759), St Idesbald, Belgium Jan 16, 2005 Yellow-golden color with light orange shine and with airy light colored froth. Mild and refreshing aorma’s of citrus, oranges honey and wheat. Smooth taste with a refined refreshing accent of citrus fruit, coriander, and other asian spices. Lively beer with a smooth and clear afthertaste. Emil (6075), Copenhagen, Denmark Jan 15, 2005 Hazy golden color with a big white head. Soicy yeasty fruity aroma and a sweet fruity yeasty taste. Medium to full body and a light dry finish. eczematic (1198), Sydney, Australia Jan 6, 2005 well i expected a witbier but this aint one. whatever it is it’s nice. hazy orange with lots and lots of broken teeth and a head that sticks all the way. in the smelll i got orange, banana, baked apple, peach, bubblegum and im sure more imaginative noses would come up with a lot more. suffice it to say it is a veritable fruit salad on the nose. taste is round, fruity and sweet, fluffy, but then quenchingly acidic. some interesting heavy trappisty fruit - fat plums, pears, baked apple, chewy and tasty.
