Aass Jule-Uten

Brewed by Aass Bryggeri
Style: Low Alcohol
Drammen, Norway

Serve in English pint, Shaker

Biggish offwhite head over brown body with carbonation. Soft, grainy aroma of dry straw. Bitter, sweetish taste of caramel, faintly roasty malts, and straw. Dry caramel taste lingers. It doesn’t really taste like a real beer, but it’s not bad, either. I guess if what you are looking for is a substitute for normal Christmas beer, this isn’t it, but if you just want something beerlike without alcohol it might work just fine. (0.33l bottle.)

Bottle in Oslo. Copper body with slight head. Nose of malts and bitter. Taste is thin and missing ABV. Not so good really.

Bottle. Pours a mellow bronze body with a relatively large, creamy off-white top, which actually sticks around for a while. Nose is wort and caramel malts, with hints of cereal. Taste is wort, caramel malts and hints of metal and dusty hops. OK drinkability. Not really good, but not really bad either - for a beer of this format. (When, come to think of it, means its actually quite good, all in all.)
