Habanero (501), Tranbjerg, Denmark Dec 26, 2007 Botle: Pours dark orange with a white head. Weak nose with some malt. Flavour with malt, caramel and hops. Slightly bitter finish. Light bodied. Rune (1839), Tromsø, Norway Dec 25, 2007 500ml swingtop bottle that comes in an unusual pottery like form. The one I bought from a fine food store in Wien had 5.2% ABV. Shining mahogany body with a filmy head. Poor in aroma, but it’s possible to shake up some smell of pale malt and grass. Slightly roasted caramel flavours with a dark fruity touch. A beer that has got more interesting form than content (25.12.2007). harmfuldrunk (288), New Jersey, USA Aug 21, 2006 not very merry watery maibock tasting brew with light malt and toasty nuty with a over the top watery taste not very enjoyed not recommended cute bottle hopdog (4779), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 7, 2005 Went to the beer store with the wife one day and she points this one out and says, ’what a cool bottle, you have to get this one’. White, interestingly shaped bottle with a picture of Santa on his sleigh. So I got it to please her. Poured a dark brown with a huge (5.5 finger) off white head. Aromas of malts, lightly roasted and light alcohol. Tastes of light alcohol and caramel. The body was thin and a little watery. Wouldn’t pay $8 for this one again... MaxRebo (6), Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA does not count Oct 22, 2004 This beer was just "okay." I was expecting something special, with the nifty looking bottle and all. Nope. To me, this beer was much like a standard German lager or even a weak version of an Oktoberfest. Some malt in the nose, no strong flavors. Aftertaste was not bad, but not that good, either. Just an average beer for me.
