Poured amber into the glass with a generous head. Malty taste. Interesting example of a Christmas beer, drunk late in the spring, before it's "best by" date.

Nov. 2003: 500 ml cool swingtop bottle. Aroma like an average lager, rather weak. Golden colour, good to moderate head. Flavour is well balanced with a herbal character, moderate sweetness and decent hops. Flavour and aftertaste are better than the average lager, but this is definitely not what I want for CHRISTMAS! As a standard lager it passes the test, as a Christmas beer it fails!

Poured at fridge temp. Pours a transparent yellow with a very thin layer of white head. Tons of bubbles rising throughout. Nose is wet hay, bagels, grass, overripe apples, and a touch of honey. The taste is sweet upfront - biscuits and honey. Picking up wheat, oranges, malts, pears, and a touch of banana. Enjoyable, but somewhat normal.

,5L brown glass swing-top bottle
Notes: Clear deep golden body beneath a full head of frothy white. Very good head retention and lacing. Aroma of grainy malt and grassy hops. The flavor follows. It's fairly matly, and lightly sweetish, but backed by a solid bitterness that balances it and brings it to a dry conclusion assisted by some spicy hops. Medium bodied with a fine-bubbled moderate carbonation.

Clear amber; big head, frothy lacing.
Too carbonated in spite of an aggressive pour (stein glass). Very drinkable due to the clean and well balanced malts and bitterness; bitter in the finish; bit of a bready after-taste. No complexity but satisfying.
