MiP (6221), Flensburg, Germany Feb 18, 2007 Bottle, 7.2%. OK sweet, malty aroma. Muddy orange colour. Big, stable light brown head. Sweetish flavour with some citric notes. Good, but I had hoped for more from Rulles. Saarlander (1465), Upland, California, USA Jan 9, 2007 Bottled, Düsseldorf gathering.Cloudy light brown, very nice head, some fruit, sweetness,dust, bit earthy. I liked it, although unbalanced. diabel (1211), Aarschot, Belgium Jan 8, 2007 <i>Bottle at the Düsseldorf Gathering.</i> Hazy, ambery body. Off-white head. Aroma of caramel, hops, ... Not very complex flavour. Lightly bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Had expected more from this La Rulles beer. jbrus (4271), Delft, Netherlands Jan 8, 2007 Dusseldorf Gathering, Bottled. Aroma of sweet fruits with a hint of licorice. Sweet, apple, light bitter, cloying. No complexity at all and even a bit unbalanced. I’d almost say "nice for an amateur". Disappointed. JorisPPattyn (4625), Antwerpen, Belgium Nov 12, 2006 Yellowish, dense head over mossy-amber beer. Nice, lightly Bretty-lactic nose, fruity as from a lambic-based fruit beer (which it is neither!). Dry-leafy, earthy flavours. Chestnut flour, wild mushrooms. Unfortunately, all a bit subdued. Medium bodied, a bit tart aftertaste. Nice, as expected from Gregory. Still, just a little more punch behind would have made it great.
