Bottle from Smart Club, Alnabru, Oslo. Tan fluffy two-finger head. Body is bright, dark ruby. Well prononced malt aroma, sweetish and Christmas-spicy. Grassy hop notes. Taste is quite sweet, genuine malty, with a a fine fruit note, and hints of peppery hops. Well-bodied, slick in the mouth. Rounded malty, light spicy-bitter finish. One of the best Norwegian ’light’ Juleøl.

Bottle at Quality Spa & Resort Norefjell. Dark caramel body with sweet nose. Taste is sweet and malty sugar. Some spices. Nicely done jule beer indeed.

Flaske 0,33l spandert av Rune og delt under seanse i heimen 16 Jun 11. Dyp brunrød. Lyst skum som daler. God aroma av frukt & bær. Litt vassen smak. Søt frukt dominerer. Sherryaktig ettersmak.

UPDATED: JAN 27, 2012 Bottle. Amber golden colour with an off white head. Sweet caramel aroma. Mostly a sweet malty flavour with some fruity notes

330ml brought back home from Meny Gønland in Oslo. Bubbly, off-white head to a clear, dark ruby body. Dark grapes and bread-like malts to the nose. Malt-bearing taste of caramel and dark fruits. Mid-sweet and semi-dry. Short finish. About average for the style (shared with Finn, Tromsø 16.06.2011).

29.04.2011. 0,33l Bottle. Thanks to Magne and Steinar for sharing! Dark brown colour with sweet malty aroma. This beer is sweet but there is also some sour elements. Very smooth malty flavours. Not to much bitterness. Good beer!

Bottle. Dark red to brown color, small beige head. Sugary aroma with bread, some spices. Taste is some roast, dominated by sugar, which also stays in the end. Overall I find this beer a bit too sweet.

Medium beige head. Deep dark red barely translucent body. Fruity wild berry aroma wih papery roasty notes. Dry-sweetish roasty papery wild berry taste with perfumy minty notes. Mid-bodied. Sharpish mouthfeel. Dry mealy strawy aftertaste with minty papery notes. Not bad, and has some character, but is a bit too papery. (0.33l bottle, Meny Grønland Torg, Oslo.)

Bottle. A clear, brown beer with a small, beige head. Caramel and some diacetyl on the nose, dull. The flavor has caramel sweetness, notes of roasted malts and diacetyl. Medium body and a sort finish. Definitely not the least interesting among the low alcohol Christmas beers, but that won’t make me buy it again. 100611

Bottle. Brown colour with a beige head. Aroma is dry, caramel, malt. Flavour is dry, caramel, roasted malt. Medium body. Boring /OK beer.

Thanks Yngwie. It’s mahogany-red with a creamy head and the aroma has notes of syrup, caramel and bread. The flavour is sweet with notes of syrup, bread, caramel, “hvidtøl” and the finish is slightly dry and bitter.
