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.

Hazy light amber color. Just some caramel; reasonably bitter; not special, but drinkable.

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.

Bottled: Light amber coloured. Beige thin head. Fruits and alcahol in the nose. Some notes of perfume. Fruity and perfumed sweet flavour. Not unpleasant. Light watery aftertaste.

Bit disappointing aroma with just yeast and some hops. Dark amber colour and great head. Spicy (cinamon), hoppy, some bitterness. Long finish.
