Molto liquorosa nonostante la non estremamente alta gradazione. Nel freddo dell’inverno è gradevole, tra le altre cose, perchè non essendo corposissima pur avendo una schiuma molto persistente, può ricordare chiare estive. Bevuta alla spina in co2 presso la Pazzeria di Milano.

MoritzF (7137) - Bochum, GERMANY - FEB 5, 2012
(bottle, 75cl) Hazy, pale golden colour with a blond and unstable frothy head. Slightly yeasty spicy sweet pale malty aroma with grainy accents and a vinous fruity touch, including notes of pears and physalis. Sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a spritzy carbonation. Slightly grainy pale malty taste with restrained fruity notes and alcoholic strength shining through from the middle part; sweet malty and discreetly bitter hoppy finish with notes of warming alcohol. Drinkable but also a bit profane. 26.XII.11

Aroma of sweaty feet. Funky, flat flavor with a bit of citrus. Light body. Tried at the Kerstbierfestival in Essen in 2011.

pivnizub (7022) - Bochum, Porúří, GERMANY - JAN 12, 2012
Bouteille: Golden, lively carbonation, stable white creamy head, a faint tinge of X-mas spices in the sweet grainy-malty nose, restrained traces of peaches and oranges, alcohol detectable; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied; citrus-fruit in the sweet and alcoholic finish. Nothing wrong with it, but kind of a liquid sleeping pill......

kermis (571) - The Hague, NETHERLANDS - DEC 8, 2011
Bottle shared with Deanso. Pours clear golden but with major sediment. Citrus and coriander aroma and flavour with an unpleasant aftertaste. Not a good Xmas beer

Kavu (938) - Jyväskylä, FINLAND - DEC 5, 2011
Pours clear yellow with a low head. Aroma is lemon and coriander. Flavor is malts, wheat, lemon and coriander. More like a strong wit than a Christmas beer.

Finn (2459) - Tromsø, NORWAY - DEC 1, 2011
Fra flaske 0,33l på rommet / Keizershof Hotell i Aalst 30 Apr 11. Blond. Litt uklar. OK kremaktig skum. Lett syrlig & fruktig aroma. Krydret smak hvor alkoholen overtar mer og mer. Etiketten drar ned. Litt vulgær.
