Bottle conditioned, from Morrisons, 750 ml bottle. Hazy amber gold, fluffy but soon sudsiding dirty white head and gentle condition. Big spicy, wheaty, yeasty nose with hints of sweet floral honey and toffee malt. Quite full in the mouth with a gentle fruity (banana) wheat note, some chalky yeast, a hint of pepper and pine needles and some gentle sweetness. Gentle yeasty bitterness in the finish, some chalkiness and a little residual nuttiness.

Bottle 33cl, an amber beer with medium head, nose is on oranges notes. Aroma is on orange peel, spices on coriander and yeast notes, medium sweet, body is medium, peppery hops, very basic.

Nice fruity beer with large foam. Good malt taste and a nice aftertaste. A very simple but enjoyable beer

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dagan’s place. Thanks zvikar. Hazy amber with an off-white head. Yeasty soapy aroma, floral and spicy. Sweetish-spicy flavor with yeast and fruits. Light to medium-bodied.

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.

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.

From Backlog , very aged bottle from my father cellar , still has the lady on it

Head: rocky, white
Colour: amber
Smell: skunky, grainy, bit sour, malty
