3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
500 ml bottle. Dark brown with reddish hues. Medium-sized light beige head that falls down quickly. Crisp Northern Brewer hop aroma with berry-like aromas. Slightly piney aroma. High carbonation level balances the roasted and dry flavours. There is also a little sweetness from malts, but those come though behind the dry, and somewhat metallic, hops. Fairly clean flavour midway, but the finish is more watery. A decent beer, but I wouldn’t recognize it as a Christmas in a blind tasting.

06.02.2009, 0,5l Bottle. 5.6%abv. The colour is black. Thick off-white head. There is something in this that smells like a camp fire. Aroma is roasted and malty. Not as sweet as expected, but more hoppy. I think this one is very nice.
