Raasted Hoppy Christmas Ale

Brewed by Raasted Bryghus
Style: Belgian Ale
Randers, Denmark

Draught at EsBF09. Good grassy hop aroma. Hazy dark orange colour. Small stable creamy white head. Good creamy mouthfeel. Very nice grassy hop aroma, balanced by a mild and nice malt base. Very good.

It’s hazy bronze with a creamy and lasting head. The aroma has notes of fruit, citrus, malt, apple, caramel and the flavor has a light to moderate sweetness and notes of malt, citrus (mostly orange). Caramel, fruit and the finish is dry and citrussy.

Sample at Esbjerg beerfestival. Nice head with good duration. Color is hazy amber. Aroma and taste are fruits, hops, sweet malt and flowers.

Tap @ Lord Nelson, Cph.
Pours hazy brownish amber with a small, staying, creamy, off-white head. Aroma is sweet, rye bread, prunes, light fruity hops. Medium carbonation, a bit light mouthfeel. Flavour is quite sweet. Prunes, raisins, light cherry tartness. Lots of sweet caramel and a bit of liquorice. Fine, light fruity hoppy finish with low bitterness.

Draught at Lord Nelson - ØJ-dag. Cloudy brown - white head. Sweetness, grassy, light hoppy, candy, smooth, caramel, yeasty, fruity, spicy, almost no hops.....

tap at lord nelson. cloudy brown, small white head. mild hoppy aroma, way too mild for my taste. flavor is sweet caramelly, spicy faint hoppy. too sweet and too cloying for my taste.

Drauht @ Lord Nelson. Dark amber coloured. Unclear. Small beige head. Aroma of yeast, fruits and spice. Flavour is spiced, fruity and has a caramelly touch. Medium bodied. A bit dry. More sweet and spiced than bitter in the end. Maybe a slight touch of bitterness, but not any distinct notes. Nothing near hoppyness, but still quite drinkable. but to call to call it Hoppy Christmas is a misnomer.

From tap at Lord Nelson. Pours hazy dark orange with a small white head. Slight spiced and vague phenolic flavoured. Sweet flavoured, light overripe fruity touch. Light bitter and spiced too. Lingering phenolic fruity and slight spiced finish.
