Jan 6, 2005 Updated: Jan 18, 2005Draught, at Rover.
Amber colous with off-white head. Moderate malty with a taste of caramel and Christmas spices.
At the beginning very bitter of hops, which (by a change of temperature?) changed to a more balanced taste (more sweet and coriander). Still to bitter for a Christmas beer according to my point of view.

Jan 2, 2005 750ml bottle, wrapped in festive tissue paper; the actual bottle was unlabelled! Popped the cap and pulled the cork - Look ou - it’s a GUSHER!!! We lost at least 1/3 of the bottle (well, we actually salvaged some of it in a bowl for the dogs - they loved it). The hazy golden body had a nice floral fruity herbal aroma. Body was mostly smooth, full flavored with a nice hop presence. A well crafted beer, just wish we wouldn’t have lost so much of it!

Dec 28, 2004 (draft) A nice cloudy copper color that was quite intriguing. Nothing particularly special about the taste - actually this beer seemed a little too well-balanced. All of the flavors seemed to cancel each other out.

Dec 24, 2004 De Ranke beers have a certain real, natural quality - It has to be the strong hopping - spicy, and more sweet than I usually like overall - this is a thin-to-medium palate beer with cinnamon and other bark spice elements intermingled with a fruity bit. Newl 2004 bottle - good to put away, to mellow.
