Angry fist of Santa tasting at Chris_o’s. I got the end of the bottle but it seemed to me to be a slightly hoppy golden beer.

Hazy orange, small white head, some lace. Coriander and other spices, citrus, ryeish bready wheat and hops in the nose. Light body. Despite of "made with European ingredients" very American. Refreshing, but same time a bit boring.
