Jan 1, 2006 Excellent lacing with a strong head. Poured caramel brown. The initial aroma contains raisins, ether and other fruits. Extremely complex - the first impression was of chocolate, then toffee and finally caramel unfolding over the span of a couple minutes. I’ll have to pick this one up again next Christmas.

Orange, hazy body. Excellent lace. Looks like the perfect beer! Nose of hops and yeast. Moderately bitter initial flavour. Lightly bitter finish. This is a beer totally in the style of ’De Ranke’, it has that typical ’De Ranke’-bitterness.

Dec 22, 2005 The commercial description says it well, i definitely tasted a hint of the XX flavor in there, which is one of my favorite beers. A slight sweetness, with great hop character.

Dec 22, 2005 Updated: Apr 30, 2006Awesome beer, no doubt about it. I could not find all the Christmas Bers I wanted, but this was good. The foam is awesome, some creamy, and the cloudy colour is great.

Dec 19, 2005 Kerstbierfestival Essen. Orange coloured beer with a nice white head. Bit dusty, hoppy nose. Pretty intense bitter taste, but the bitternessseems to fade away towards the end, strangely enough.
