Cornfield (4892), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA Dec 11, 2005 Amber/brown and headless, this has a taste of soft caramel malt, slightly sour, with an earthy, floral hop bitterness. The aroma is a bit funky, sour and musty. It finishes on a nice bitter note. Quite drinkable.

A 2004 33cl bottle from the Beer Circus. Nice dusty and hoppy but mellow aroma. Hazy amber appearance with a white head that settles quickly to a thin film. Well balanced with some anaseed and oranges. Gentle crisp and spicy finish. geno5 (21), Bayonne, New Jersey, USA Dec 5, 2005 Aroma a bit sour, strawberries, thin light tan head, cloudy amber in color. Very thin body. Hoppy, fruity flavor. joss (3632), Garching b. München, Germany Dec 3, 2005 Bottle, courtesy of my favorite secret santa
Cloudy, light orange, lowish creamy head
Spicy heather, wooden and nutty aroma.
Caramel base-flavor, dry peachskin, barrique, a hint of metallicity.
Medium body, light sparkly mouthfeel.
Yeasty minerally and apricot aftertaste.
Thanks Nat! pivo (2535), Germany Dec 2, 2005 Vinous, hoppy nose - nice. Hazy deep gold color, lacy head. Quick sweet malt with hints of white grape and spice. Hoppy end. Thinner than expected, but overall decent. Not as Christmasy as one would want though... jimmack (1221), Nutley, New Jersey, USA Nov 24, 2005 Bottle shared by Geno5. Cloudy orange color with a mediuml off white head. Fruity, tart aroma with some hay and hops that come together to remind me of vomit a little bit. Flavor was better than the aroma I thought. Still a bit fruity and hoppy with some grassiness. Kind of mild flavored for a Christmas beer. Storm (2685), Amager, Denmark Nov 12, 2005 On tap. Amber colour. Unclear. Nice lace head. Sour unpleasant aroma. Very hoppy flavour, not what you may expect. But overall a different christmas beer. YogiBeera (2437), Hamburg, Germany Oct 24, 2005 Orange color, medium haed leaving laces. Lively carbonation. Yeast and cooky dough nose - also some traces of hops. Peppery and hoppy first, mellows down then with a lots of nice malt and yeast. Finishes spicey again. Nice.
