COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Amber coloured, fine sparkle and delicate and thick head. Pleasant mixture of the aroma of hops and a slight hint of liquorice. Pronounced bitterness, mellow and thirst-quenching.

TET (790) - FINLAND - APR 13, 2012
A beautiful, cloudy, orange beer with a medium and blond head. Aroma is fruitfull and aromatic, "belgianfruits", spicyness and even some parfume. Taste is also "belgian"fruity, spicyness and herbs. Good, but unfortunately taste is too mild and short. Medium- bodied, lots of carbonation, easily to drink. Everything are in place, but too modesty and lightness bothers from beginning to end.

BlackHaddock (1709) - Shropshire, ENGLAND - APR 10, 2012
Brown dumpy 33cl bottle, best before 3 Sept 2012, poured into a Hoegaarden Grand Cru stemmed tulip a year earlier. No sediment left the bottle, so my beer was a clear amber colour with a large dose of head, white and clean looking: the head gave some good lacing as the beer level sank. Toffee molasses in the aroma. Thin in body depth, but not weak in flavour: malts dominate, however a tart bitterness is just below the surface and this didn’t sit well with me at all. This is another Bocq beer that fails to float my boat.
