Muddy yellow body and a decent large head. Aroma is all hops, very strong and pentrating on the nose. Strong taste of pine, juniper, and hops. all floral plants, very aromatic, like sucking on a mistletoe. Not that that’s a bad thing - it’s unique, and probably would go well with a Christmas cake or at a holiday turkey dinner.

Bottle 33cl. An amber beer with good head. Smell is on bitter lemon. Aroma is mostly on lemon and orange notes, some spices, the malty side is low, a huge hopy presence mostly a US one. This beer has nothing to do with Christmas beer (as noticed on the bottle) a bit boring.

Bottle 330ml.
Clear medium amber color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, caramel, spicy, ginger, light yeasty. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is light medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. [20100111]

Cloudy amber with a medium off white head. Sweet and spicy aroma with hints of malt. Sweet flavour with plenty of spcices. Finished sweet.

Tasting at Papsø’s
Cloudy amber color. Horrible herbal aroma, with cinnamon, and cleaning products; just what I hate. Medium body strength, some sweet malt hidden by strong vegetables and yeast off-flavor, herbal too. Confused and bad.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with with a white head. The aroma has notes malt, caramel, and some spices, malt, caramel, and nuts, leading to a dry spicy finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

33 cL bottle. Pours dark orange with a small white head. Aroma is ginger and light malty. Citric, ginger and dry herbal flavoured. Light caramelish sweet base. Bitter and citric finish.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours amber golden with a slight haze and an off-white head. Gingery nose. Medium body, sweet and fruity with perfumy notes - again the ginger shines through. Strangely astringent finish. 110110

Bottle, bought @ Bierpassion. Tasted now @ home. Hazy amber color, with an good off-white head. Aroma malts, some herbs, yeast. Medium body. Taste yeast, good malts, caramel, hops, bitterness. A light warming alcohol touch.

certainly hazy, it seems the brewer like that kind of "raw beers", and indeed, it’s pretty interesting. A nice white head and a great malt aroma, pepper and corriander are well balanced with hops. It’s a good beer...
