Rating Backlog #1. I asked the wonderful folks up at The Brick Store for a Christmas Beer that didn’t taste like a Christmas Tree. This beer fit the bill. Poured reddish. The flavor is best described as a sweet hoppiness. Did exactly what I asked. Brick Store - Decatur, GA

Nez de levures fruitées (agrumes, traces de fruits tropicaux et de bananes), moyennement épicées (poivre doux, traces de coriandre) et aux petites notes terreuses, moyen de houblon floral et légèrement herbeux, léger de pain avec des notes de caramel très doux. Moyenne-ronde en avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture légèrement crémeuse et aux petites notes huileuses. Goût de levures épicées (poivre, faibles traces de coriandre), moyennement fruité (agrumes et zeste, traces d’abricots) et aux petites notes terreuses lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de grains de céréales peu sucrées avec des notes de pain et quelques traces de caramel et de miel puis en finale l’on retrouve une moyenne amertume asséchante de houblon herbeux aux notes florales avec des traces d’alcool. Post-goût moyen-long et plutôt sec, moyennement amer de houblon herbeux aux notes florales avec un moyen goût de levures épicées (poivrées) et légèrement fruitées (zeste d’agrumes).

De couleur ambrée et voilée, une énorme mousse capitonnée flotte à sa surface. Des arômes épicés, de zeste d’orange et de levure en émanent.
Goût semblable. Épicé avec des pointes amères. Encore là, le zeste d’orange semble présent dans la recette. Relativement consistant. (509-060113)

Bottle @ Home. Questa Christmas ale mi ha creato dei dubbi esistenziali. 1) è poco alcolica e molto luppolata, cosa che le altre xmas ale non sono!
2) non ha calore alcolico , in quanto i 7 gradi scompaiono di fronte alla luppolatura marcata. Quella dovrebbe essere una delle principali caratteristiche di una xmas.
3) nonostante tutto alla fine mi è piaciuta, ma mi aspettavo tutt’altro!!
in generale:
Profuma di luppolo erbaceo, il gusto è secco, agrumato, il corpo è rotondo, ma lascia la bocca asciutta come una bitter inglese.

750 ml bottle. Pours a cloudy amber with medium fluffy head. Aromas of yeast. malts, and lemons with light floral hints. Flavors resin, dried apricots, citrus, and light burnt sugar. Light bitter finish. Still quite fruity after sitting 6+ months.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On keg at The Congress, Longton. Pours red brown, it’s got the sour beer look. Spice, alcohol burns through, some fruits. Alcohol killed the spiciness for me.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
A cloudy, redbrown beer with a big and blond head. Aroma is fruitfull and slightly aromatic, flowers, spices and some fructose, hint of yeast. Taste is aromatic, fruits, spices and some flowers. The aftertaste is dry, herbs and white peppers. Medium bodied, high carbonation, nice to drink. Dry and strongly spicy beer, I like more fruits.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
33cl bottle - pours a cloudy apricot orange, nose is exquisitely fine yeast, which carries all the aromas of apricot, vanilla, berries; great grassy hop bitterness, midway between Guldenberg and XX Bitter. Not immediately my favourite style but this is a confident brew departing from age old Belgian ale traditions. Would not necessarily associate this with Xmas, nor need winter to enjoy this.
