Dec 26, 2007 33 cl. bottle. Poured (w/yeast) a cloudy orange and a frothy head. Some dusty yeast in the aroma with some citrusy hops. Nice dry off-sweet bready malt flavor with just a touch of caramel and citrus with spikey hops. Some underlying yeasty mustiness as well. Fine carbonation. My kind of Christmas ale! Blonde-amber Belgian with snappy hops and a dry finish. A nice change from some of the dark gingerbread/fruitcake/glogg type stuff you see this time of year. Hell, I’ll drink this in July.

Dec 24, 2007 Merry fuckin’ Christmas! This beer was gladfully enjoyed on Xmas eve at the Luts house. Sharp carbonation, a light amber body. Finished quite bitter and delectable. Go for this brew if you can!

Aroma is average malt (bread, cereal), average hops (flowers, grass), average yeast (earth) with notes of apple and cask. Medium bodied, gritty texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.

Dec 17, 2007 Draught Kerstbierfestival 2007: Poured a copper with an off white head. The aroma is spicy coriander and perfume. Taste is strong metallic with a strange grain, but remained strong to that metal finish. Is my mouth rusting up?

Dec 17, 2007 Bottle @ Cole’s Christmas Tasting 2007. Hazy golden body with a small white head. Aroma of pine freshener and soapy floral spice. It was better than that probably sounds. Sweet flavour initially but spice in the middle leads to an unexpectedly dry finish. Average palate. Ok, probably would not go out of my way to try it again.

Dec 17, 2007 Beer pours a dark golden, almost amber color. Nose is hops and spices. Not as spicy as the nose would suggest, actually more of a straight ahead hoppy Belgian beer. Kind of reminded me of Signature ale or Devotion with a bit more spices. Darn good.

Light herbal notes paired with banana, honey, apple, and more candi sugar. Mouthfeel is full bodied and lightly sweet with lush carbonation.
