1.5L bottle at christmas party. cloudy orange, huge offwhite head. very nice flowery hoppy aroma flavor is hoppy, floral, cranberries, grapefruit. This beer is very tasty, great flowery hoppy aroma, great taste, wa a pleasure to share it with my GF.

Cloudy orange with a lasting cramy off-white head. Hoppy aroma of pine and grapefruit with a hint of peach. Sweetish fruity hop dominated flavour with a firm bitterness

It’s hazy, orange-golden with a huge, creamy, golden and lasting head. The aroma has notes of fruit, mostly peach and citrus. The flavour has a light sweetness, a refreshing bitterness and notes of fruits like peach, melon, a little oranges and other citrus, and the finish is slightly spicy and dry. The balance is very nice, in the delicious beer. I was fortunate enough to share the 1½ liters with only one other person :)

Bottle. Creamy white excellent fully lasting head. Amber colour. Moderate malty and heavy hoppy and exstremely elder aroma. Heavy bitter almost harsh flavor. Very spicey. Long fantastic powerfull finish. Creamy palate. Not perfectly balanced but exstremely powerfull.

Magnum from Half Time. Pours hazy orange amber with a heavy foamy beige head. Lightly sour citrus aroma. Me. body; mild carb. Flavor is lightly sour, citrus, and rather decent De Proef funk that develops with a little time. Finishes smooth and Belgian. Wouldn’t have known this was Xmas ale. Good tasting ale.

Draft. Poured clear dark copper color with an average frothy off-white head that lasted and produced excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy complex spice and alcohol aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy spice sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate to long duration. This is a good holiday beer.

Im Antrunk ist das Bier aromatisch hopfig, natürlich, vielfältig. Der Hopfen weitet sich aber sogar noch aus, dabei nimmt er an Herbe zu und ist so nicht mehr der alleinige Taktgeber. Weniger bitter, auch die Herbe ist im Vergleich zum Hopfen dann doch eher gering. Etwas fruchtig und grasig, zudem sind Honignoten erkennbar. Vollmundig hopfig, im Abgang verfliegt er aber merkwürdig schnell und hinterlässt keine bitteren oder herben Noten, das Bier ist minimal grasig. Ein durch und durch auf den Hopfen ausgelegtes Bier! 12/12/11/12//12

Draft at Churchkey. Dark hazy golden color, thick off white head, massive lacing. Aroma of Christmas tree - orange, pine, light spice. Taste is bitter start to finish with more orange peel. Nice stuff.

30 cl draft. Amber body with small off-white head. Flavour is malt, caramel, lots of hops (Nelson Sauvin?) and notes of orange.

1.5 liter bottle. Poured a medium and cloudy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, some fruitiness, and floral hops. Tastes of the same floral hops, some pine, citrus, toastiness, and caramel. On the hoppy side.
