Bottle. Hayish aroma. Bubbly golden, white cream. Medium body, chewy grain and spicy malt, good hop balance, grassy, light aromatic. Not super-christmassy, but a pleasnt Helles.

(Flasche) Es hat eine klare gold-gelbe Färbung und eine weiße Schaumkrone. Es riecht umfassend malzig-süß mit einer minimalen Hopfennote. Geschmacklich lässt sich nur eine leichte, leichte Süße schmecken, sie ist leicht adstringierend , doch sonst schmeckt man nichts. Die Karbonisierung ist passabel aber Bittere ist nicht vorhanden. Zusammengefasst; genau so enttäuschend wie der Bock

(bottle) pours a clear golden-yellow colour with a frothy white head. aroma of green apples and banana, slightly doughy, with a hint of cardboard and cinnamon. flavour is mostly the same, with light sweet spices, marzipan and an empty finish. comparatively light-bodied with average carbonation.

Ein Weihnachts-Bock reicht der Brauerei nicht, es muss auch noch ein normales Weihnachts-Bier geben. Wässriger Antrunk, Der Hopfen geht in der weiten Wässrigkeit verloren. Süßlich malzig im Mittelteil, etwas kräftiger im Abgang mit leichter Herbe. Für ein Winterbier überaus kraftlos. Test vom 24.3.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,6,7,9,8,7 - 7,30

Bottle(courtesy of joss!): Pale golden to golden, big fluffy head, that slowly collapses with a visible lace; grainy nose with a touch of wort and some grassy hops, medium bodoed and soft; light to moderate sweet-bitter flavour; short - rather flat - sweet-bitter finish. Not really bad, but pretty simple.....

(bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a blond medium-sized foamy head. Strawy malty and slightly doughy aroma with notes of herbal and metallic hops. Slightly sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Strawy pale malt-character with doughy and slightly papery spots; moderately dry and slightly bitter finish with a tinge of metal. Quite boring Festbier. 16.VI.10
