Grima (1573) - Saarburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, GERMANY - FEB 12, 2012
Sorry for the german rating, but this is a lousy rating from my "newbie" time (2007-2009), and it’s not worth of being translated. I just added it for the statistics, and to complete my backlog!
Rated January 2010 as "Hetzelsdorfer Weihnachtsfestbier! Ins Glas ergießt sich ein schönes amberfarbenes Bier mit wenig Schaum. Der Geruch ist dezent röstmalzig, insgesamt fast neutral. Der Antrunk fällt röstig herb, dezent nussig aus. Wirkt sehr intensiv. Dieses Bier kann ich mir prima zu nem deftigen Essen vorstellen. Der Abgang ist wieder röstig herb, wird aber im Verlauf etwas süßer. Insgesamt sehr schwerfällig zu trinken, aber zum Genießen ist das hier ein prima Bierchen!

Hermod (1690) - Vantaa, FINLAND - JAN 14, 2012
50cl bottle, BBE 02/2012. Poured copper color with a thin white head. Aroma is bready, some caramel malt as well as weak roasted notes. Flavor is caramel, bready notes and roastedness in finish. Slightly dry finish. Good session beer.

mile (1452) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JAN 2, 2012
Bottle. Light amber, hazy, very small and fully diminishing head. Moderate malty and sweetish aroma, some caramel with light bread. Body is medium, malty and sweetish flavor, some caramel, faint bread and faint hoppyness. Finish is average, malty and lightly sweetish, light caramel and light hoppyness. Caramel sweetish märzen with light hoppyness in the finish - too sweet for me.

hopscotch (7535) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - OCT 27, 2011
Bottle… Clear orange lager with a small, fizzy, white head. Decent retention. The bouquet is a really cool, malty intermingling of sugar cookies and yellow cake batter. Medium-bodied with lively carbonation. The flavor is well-balanced with caramel malts and peppery German hops. Crisp, lightly bitter finish. Thanks to erlangernick for shipping this one out of Franconia!

Koelschtrinker (7060) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - MAY 21, 2011
Primär herber Antrunk, der von getreidigem und semigen Hopfen unterstützt wird. Später kristallisiert sich die Herbe hier stärker heraus, nicht außer Acht lassen sollte man dann auch die daran hängende Bitterkeit. Angenehm aber von der Bitterkeit heruntergespielt wird ein leichtes Erdnussaroma, das wohl aus dem Hopfen resultiert und somit den verbliebenen Rest davon darstellt. Süß-würziger Abgang, in dem das genannte Aroma die Hauptrolle spielt Insgesamt unspektakulär. 10/9/9/9/8/9

On tap at Moeder Lambik. Red amber with thick head. Sweet, malty nose. Taste light, refreshing, malty.

jonas (4594) - Garching b. München, GERMANY - FEB 1, 2010

Quack-Duck (5921) - Down South, GERMANY - DEC 23, 2009
bottle, as Weihnachtsfestbier, traded with wastl. Clear chestnut-red-golden colour with a mid-siozed white head. Herbal hoppy nose. Full-bodied, lovely malty background with lots of spicy and herbal hops with hints of oak and resin. Delicious beer.
