Even though a seasonal, this christmas ale wins upon cellaring for one or two years. Drink it young, and it’s slightly boring and to the sweeter side, drink a year after it’s a good and somewhat complex bitter ale with hints of cinnamon, lemon and ginger. It’s supposed to accombany food, and goes well with traditional danish lunch like hering, pickled gherkins, apple-bacon and liver pate. Due to the slight oily feel, it gets too much on it’s own.

Bottle. Pours clear amber with negligible white head. Clear aroma of hop and malt. Tastes a little bittle bitter, not quite impressive. Didn’t finish the bottle.

Ingevara (714) - SWEDEN - OCT 30, 2012
Big head. Nice smell of hay and citrus. Malty body and rich in flavor, but more like an aerage english ale than a christmas speciality. I like it a lot anyway. My kind of beer.
