Bottle. Lovely high creamy and good looking white head. Cledar golden body. Sweet honey fruity aroma. Flavor also quite fruity but with the addition of a bit of coriander. Low carbonation, long sweet aftertaste. Alcohol percentage seems just right.

Bottle, bought @ Utobeer, London.
Pours a nice, clear golden with a medium, frothy, white head. Aroma has yeast, lots of maltiness, some rye, light apple and quite vinious. A touch of grape as well. Okay, lightly creamy mouthfeel. Flavour has a touch of metal that goes away as it heats up. Good yeastiness and a little cellar. The malts carry me through a good, definite viniousness and a touch of raisin at the end. Fine beer.

25cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex brew, balanced, clear, rocky head, nice X-Mas brew

Bottle on the beertasting of the bb. Had it previous on draft. Very nice and good tasting Christmas beer.

Bottle. Hazy golden colour with a nice white head. Aroma and flavour of malt, fruit, spice and yeast.

Bottle from Utobeer, London. Nose of honey, malt, hops and spices. Pours a golden amber colour beer with a reasonable head and some lacing. Taste is quite sweet with citrus and spicy notes. Finishes quite dry. Quite average.

(25cl bottle) Clear, golden colour with a medium-sized, slowly lacing foamy white head. Slightly dusty, moderately sweet pale malt aroma, slightly wheaty and honey-fruity with notes of lemon. Sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied with slightly fizzy carbonation. Pale malt character, moderately fruity, zesty taste; quite dry, slightly bitter and spicy finish. Nothing special.

Bottle from beers of europe. Aroma is sweet pale malts and candy sugar, peppery more than spicey. Taste is a similar bag of banter, good carbonation, very drinkable.
