COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
After the Applebocq and the Redbocq, the Brasserie du Bocq is pleased to announce the birth of the Agrumbocq … The idea for the Agrumbocq arose first of all in the mind of our master brewer. Once again, the starting point is our white beer made by top fermentation to which mandarin juice and the natural aromas of grapefruit and lime are added. Its cloudy appearance, its natural pink grapefruit colour, its fine slightly pinkish head and its pleasantly fruity fragrance are certainly going to delight the most delicate palates. A perfect balance is achieved through the sweet and acid taste of the citrus fruit and the slight bitterness that it releases. It is defined as a very light and refreshing beer. You are advised to drink it very cool. It is ideal after sport! It has barely 3% alcohol volume. The Agrumbocq is currently available in kegs and 25-cl bottles.

Yves (1615) - Turnhout, BELGIUM - MAY 2, 2009
Hazy pale yellow coloured beer with small white head and medium carbonation. Soda like aroma (agrum). Sweet palate. Finish is sweet bitter. I though I was a beer rater not a soda rater, I’m confused...

SHIG (2697) - Anchorage, Alaska, USA - FEB 16, 2009
Bottle: Poured a white yellow with a white head. Aroma is thick with grapefruit. Taste was grapefruit, oranges, and lime. I actually liked this as a relaxing beach drink, but not really beer.

Maria (8568) - Thisted, DENMARK - JAN 29, 2009
Trade with Fonefan. It is hazy, light golden with a peach hue and a huge, white and creamy head. The aroma is very refreshing and inviting with notes of pink grapefruit. The flavour has a strong sweetness, notes of coriander, wheat, tangerine and a light citrussy sourness. Judging from the aroma it is a bit disappointing, that it is so sweet, and it is a bit unbalanced too.

armando629 (1995) - Budapest, HUNGARY - JAN 26, 2009
Freaky beer...So it has an unidentifiable color. Probably it is a pale yellow-orange color?But the beer has a nice white foamy stable head. The citrus-orange-peel dominates the flavor, some wheat beer character is in the backgrond. The flavor is freaky like the aroma...It has a ton of orange, orange-peel, some citrus, but in the background i can feel a belgian witbier...And the beer is sweet, very sweet...Nice orange aftertaste.Easy drinkable and freaky one.

sayravai (4548) - Helsinki, FINLAND - SEP 29, 2008
(Bottled) Very faint yellow with a medium, fluffy and bright white head. Strong aroma of sweet-sour grapefruit and lime, with some ginger spiciness. Sweetish mandarine-grapefruity flavor with only a hint of witbier, and sourness mostly masked by sugar and the artificial sweetener. Light body with slightly foamy carbonation. This could be refreshing wihout the sugar and artificial sweeteners - but like this it’s just plain crappy.

bierkoning (8099) - La Tropica, NETHERLANDS - AUG 28, 2008
Bottle. Tangerine and lime in the aroma and flavor, even lingering on in the aftertaste. Sugary sweet, but not unpleasant because of the citrus sourness and even bitterness.

SaintMatty (2841) - Uppsala, SWEDEN - AUG 20, 2008
Draught (The Rake,London) - Cloudy orange in colour. Grapefruit aroma with a hint of tangy orange. Sweet grapefruit taste which is a bit sugary but not overwhelmingly so.

DonMagi (5599) - bantervile, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - JUL 22, 2008
Tap at Lowlander. Aroma is bursting with artifical sweetner, citrus, cleaning fluid like airefresher. Tate is the same. The poorst of the bocq fruit beers.

MesandSim (7109) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUL 10, 2008
A Mes rate: draught at Lowlander.
Cloudy liver salts water, a very very pale grapefruit yellow with a detergent white head, Aroma is full on grapefruit and lemon with maybe a hint of peach. The name suits it perfectly, it’s citric as hell. Flavour is no where near as good. Artificial citric water with obvious grapefruit and watermelon. A real girl who is not into beer drink. Strangely thick and pleasing mouthfeel. Not special but drinkable enough.
