| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 12, 2005 Hazy golden/apricot color with a great lasting white head. Creamy aroma with vanilla, some plum, milky notes and yeast. Quite mild malty flavor, vanilla, creamy and milky notes with some yeast. Maybe a bit thin. highlandlad (1258), Sydney, Australia
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jun 22, 2005 Disappointing thin Belgian ale from a generally reliable brewer. Poured a muddy orange colour with significant sedimentation and a short head that quickly passed and left no lace. The spicy aroma included ginger, celeriac, caramel and cloves. Surprisingly thin in the mouth and this particular sample was dull and lifeless. Feels like it needs more body to carry the spices. Sweet and yeasty on the tongue with a late whisper of alcohol and some witbier-like sourness. Doesn’t really work for me. Sully (1367), Woolloomooloo, New South Wales, Australia
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | May 23, 2005 Another of those orangey beers. But with the name I have a great anticipation that this will be a very good beer. Well it is a good beer no doubt but with a lot of chunkies in the glass there is a problem with the palate and mouthfeel. Quite citrusy and a whiff of perfume this is OK but not a great member of an esteemed family. Papsoe (14904), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 21, 2005 Updated: Jun 10, 2005(Bottle 33 cl) Orange-blond beer with a lot of sediments and no head to speak of. High carbonation. Very aromatic and quite dry - almost like a "Tripel" although there’s less alcohol here. Quite perfumed and "herbal", but it changes character when the sediments is in the glass. Special. 030304 ThomasE (5178), Copenhagen, Denmark

Muddy orange color, small tight white head. Nose is spicey: orange peels and also spiritus fortus. Medium-bodied, soft. Malty with orange peels also in the flavor, slightly sour with metallic and leather flavors. Quite thin palate. Fruity in the finish, lightly bitter aftertaste. Like witbier without wheat. Quite a dissapointment, because Abbaye des Rocs usually means great brews. madsberg (4958), Søborg, Denmark

Flavour is spices and floral with some citric notes. Ends on a light sour note. Is quite refreshing, but i a bit average.
