The bottle looks a little bit too less christmas-like. The beer in the glass looks good, copper coloured, fine foam. Tastes strong and spicy, modest sourish. An average festbier!

Honey lemon with no much head. Aroma is sweet malt with some soft fruit. Flavour is sweet with an oily texture. Herb hop finish.

Im Antrunk kommen herbe Noten nur wenig zur Geltung, da eine würzige Komponente, vielleicht etwas wirr folgt. Später kann sich die Herbe dann aber doch herausstellen. Dabei fällt ein Grapefruit-Aroma auf, das im Mittelteil deutlich hervorkommt und zur Herbe passt. Die Würzigkeit wird zunehmend getreidig, auch dies passt und zeigt, dass es eben nur eine ewas stärkere Version ist und kein Bock. Stimmiges Festbier. 8/9/11/10/8/9
