33 cl bottle. Aroma is malty, bordering on metallic, not to complex, but ok for a 4.7 ABV beer. Pours a lovely dark amber, head dissipate quickly. Taste is a bit bland and boring, but ok for what it is. Hops are well in the background, which is ok for type, but I wish it would have been more daring. It’s ok, but nothing more.

A dark brown beer with a medium and beige head. Aroma of bread, ryebread and sourness, some roastiness and herbs, overally quite dry aroma. Taste of smooth malts, bread, some roastiness adn sourness. Light+ bodied, smooth to drink. Good beer with smooth and pleasant drinkability.

0,5 l boks: Nydelig farge og høyt lysebrunt skum som forsvinner raskt. Mild aroma av malt, med antydning av karamell, litt røstet malt og gjær. Sødmefylt og mild kryddersmak, kunne tenkt meg mer friskhet i tillegg hvis den skal hamle opp med feit julemat. Behagelig munnfylde, men vandig avslutning. Satser heller på Hoppy Joe til julemåltidene!

Bottled (from K Citymarket Kivihaka, Vaasa). Deep rubyish copper colour with a mediumsized creamy beigeish brown head. Aroma is nutty, yeasty, earthy, some mild melted rubbery notes as well as some roasted and caramelly notes. Flavour is sweet malts, mild spices, some yeastyness as well as ripe fruits and mild dry wooden tart notes. Not my piece of Christmas beer...

Bottle at home, expiry date two days ago. Dark brown body, very small disappearing light brown head. Aroma of malt, fruit, hops. Taste of caramel, wood, nuts. A bit thin, good carbonation and an ok bitterness, mild hoppy aftertaste.

300ml bottle. Amber in color with a small off white head. Aromas of caramel, spices, maybe some raisins. Flavors of sweet malts, spices and a little floral hops. I get the sense of it being a little thin, maybe because the low abv. Great beer for the holidays.
