look: 4 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3
A: This beer pours dark brown with hints of red. The large off-white head is creamy and slow-dissipating. Nice lacings.
S: Kind of faint smell. Sweet malt with an off-smell to it - I'm guessing there's a little bit of corn in it. Bitter hops and faint citric notes.
T: Sweet light roasted malt. Bready. Hoppy, both bitter and floral - some citric notes. Kind of creamy in taste.
M: Aftertaste is short and mostly sweet. Body is full and carbonation medium but offensive.
D: A bit to unbalanced for my taste.

The beer is dark brown, with hints of red. The foam rather light beige, leaving lots of lacing.
The smell is dominated by citric notes, lemon and grapefruit. A hint of sweetness, dried fruits.
This beer is very sweet, like most Swedish "Christmas Beers", it is somewhat balanced with some citric acids. Bitter notes are nice but however too quickly receding.
The fluid has small bubbles, and is easy to drink.
