Commercial Description:
A Christmas beer from Grauballe Bryghus. Brewed with honey from Brazilian Orange trees, light malts, orange peel, and just a bit dark caramel malt. A cold mashing and a cold heating to 77 degrees Centigrade gives the beer a good body. Boiled with Cascade and other hop varieties, that is added over 3 times, as was originally done, makes the beer complex, where the hops balances with the spicy aromas from oranges and honey. It is unfiltered and unpasteurized, to keep all flavors and allow for futher development in the keg.

500 ml bottle. Copper colour. Clear. Tall fine-laced white head that clings to the glass. Rounded and slightly sweet floral aroma with delicate malt aroma. Lacks a little on the initial flavours. Papery texture. Interesting floral flavours. Quite dry. Tobacco and rose petals. Spices. Leathery. Bitter orange peel. Little hop bitterness. Interesting beer, but not really something that I’d want to drink again.

Brown beer with rocky head that disappears fast. Orange aroma. The taste? Malty beer bse, oily citrus, sharp sting in the finish that ends up a bit yeasty. Not wholly succesful.

500 ml bottle. Clear amber body with a disappearing off-white head. Aroma is sweet malt, caramel, hops and a hint of orange. Flavor is quite sweet, some caramel, a fruity bitterness (like the white stuffer under orange peel) and a hint of hops and spices. Long, sweet and gentle bitter finish. Not totally great, but interesting and well worth a try.

02.08.2008, BB 14.05.2009. Dark golden amber colour.Firm white head. The smells reminds me more of flowers/roses than of orange. I dont like the smell of it. The taste is sweet and mellow and is more gentle than it s smell. I think the smell remands me of "Wonderbaum"

500 ml bottle, now available in Norway at Vinmonopolet. ABV is 6.0%. Ingredients include 2% orange flower honey, E223 and E300. Golden brown colour, big light tan head with an orangey hue. Unusual and initially interesting aroma of orange peel, spices, oak, fermenting fruits and apple cider vinegar, then some less pleasant "industrial" and sulphurous notes take over. The flavour has caramel and some honey sweetness, with notes of orange peel and undefined fruits. Very little bitterness. Props to Grauballe for brewing unusual beers, but this one doesn’t blow my socks off.
