Ungstrup (22911) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - MAY 14, 2004
An amber beer with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and citrus. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, straws, berries, and with a light dry finish. I had expected more.

Reddish amber coloured. Plums and old notes in the aroma. Very sweet and honeyish flavour. Liquid caramel. Cloying.

JorisPPattyn (6428) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - AUG 30, 2003
Gushing to fluffy thick head, slowly dimidnishing. Orange-amber beer, clear. Faint crystal malt odour, faint citrussy arome. Taste is restrained to a light, cookie-like, light-roasted malt taste. bubblegum flavour. Very bland, uninspiring taste. Light bodied. No discernable aftertaste, but a faint cookie-flavour. Roussa is interesting for some of S&N markets, and superfluous for the beergeek.

Kåstå (1202) - Mol, BELGIUM - OCT 29, 2002
Light red amber coloured beer with a small head. It has a spicy Christmas aroma and taste.

jerohen (1776) - Bussum, NETHERLANDS - OCT 12, 2002
Belgian Ale? It tastes just an autumn bock to me. An autumn bock with the typical Grimbergen sweetness.
