Dec 6, 2007 Pours a cloudy orange color with a smallish short lasting white head (some lace). Aroma is yeasty, lots of oranges and lemons and sour. The flavor is musty, yeasty, lots of orange and sour with some bready malts. Chalky mouthfeel, medium bodied, medium/high carbonation. Finishes very dry.

Dec 5, 2007 Pere Noel had some nice champagne-like qualities in its flavor and mouthfeel, and an interesting aroma, but there wasn’t really enough flavor to it to really peak my interest.
This beer poured an opaque orange-pink with lots of fine head. Aroma contained lots of earthiness, isoamyl acetate (banana/circus peanuts), and ethyl butyrate (bubble gum). There was a champagne flavor and mouthfeel, but not much in the way of flavor. Mouthfeel was a bit thin.
I wouldn’t recommend this beer.

Nov 30, 2007 My Bottle (330ml) shared with HogTownHarry & tupalev. Pours a cloudy orange-amber with an average size diminishing off-white head. Aroma’s sugary sweet along with spices and Belgian yeast. Somewhat odd flavour of Belgian yeast, spices, sweet malt, quite a bit of hops in the finish and a weird spice or something that I can’t place. Average bodied. Pretty good, interesting for sure.
