Abbaye des Rocs La Montagnarde Altitude 6

Brewed by Brasserie de l’Abbaye des Rocs
Style: Belgian Ale
Montignies-sur-Roc, Belgium

75cl, pours bright orange, very effervescent, creamy head, some yeast came even with a careful pour, aroma was spicy (citrus, cardamom, noble hops), first taste was mix of light honey, peppery, peach, cotton candy, light malt, more yeast aroma came through during sip, finishes a touch bitter, then lingering sweetness after swallowing... alcohol is a touch warm at first, then breathes off quickly.

Bottle, pours light orange to yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is wonderful, light candied sugar, malt, and citric hop notes. Flavor is dangerously top notch. This is on another plane than Westy blond, which I also love. The flavors are on the other end of the spectrum, very fresh hop bitterness, light malt sweetness and the bitter orange/coriander flavors prevalent in a Wit. Never-the-less, tastes extremely fresh, and is a beer I would love to have on more than one occasion.

Bottle at home. Cloudy amber - white head. Fruity, orange, yeasty, spicy, wheaty, sweetness, soapy, light bitterness, sulfor, honey, a bit unpleasant.

My 100th Belgian Ale. 33cl bottle. Thanks to Madsnp. Pours cloudy gold with a small white head. Nose & taste is yeasty & spicy. Lots of cardemom, sugar & fruity orange. Quite one dimensional but very well made.

<i>Bottle (11.6oz) shared with HogTownHarry, garthicus, jerc & mabel -- courtesy of mabel.</i> Pours a very cloudy orange with tons of floaties of various sizes and a small creamy white head. Aroma of yeast with fruit, some light sugary sweetness and spices. Flavour’s also yeasty and fruity along with spices and a light bitterness. Average to medium bodied. Didn’t wow me but it’s decent.

A clear golden colored beer, with a thick foamy white head. The aroma is fruity, ripe apples. It’s malty with some caramel. The taste is dry sweet, notes of nutes and spices. It’s fruity like orange and peaches. A bit liquorice. It’s a little syrupy. The aftertaste a little bitter sweet.

2008-10-22. Hazy orange body with a small white head and a lot of protein floaties. Mild aroma, yeast, light honey, mild malt. Pleasant but muted. (6+) Flavour is similar, light dry malt, touch of dry fruit? Modest sugars. Average plus bodied palate. Pleasant, but milder than expected. Could drink a lot of of it though. Yumm! Bottle from Beer Mania, Brussels.

Bottle (330ml). Shared by jerc and mabel, with me, blankboy and garthicus. Cloudy light gold, average creamy white head, tons of protein floaties. Sweet, yeasty, fruity, a little musty - lovely thick golden belgiums. Taste follows - yummy, not as malty, a little spicy, and a hint of alcohol. Nice carbonation, somewhat syrupy - fades a little fast, but tasty.
