Tasted at Las Buenas Pulgas, poured in a trappist glass. Pours an amber colour, medium head with long retention, cryin' lace. Aroma of yeast, sugar cane, apples, prunes, bananas. Medium body, thin texture for a Christmas, active carbonation. Sweet dry finish. Taste of yeast, bananas, prunes. Not bad, but not what I expect for a Christmas.

Pours a clear amber, with thick, fluffy head.

Smell is yeasty and citrusy with notes of banana, apples and a hint of spice.

Taste is yeasty and sweet with peppery notes of rye and well disguised spiciness. Some phenols and esters, but it's all mellow and balanced.

Mouthfeel is medium with sparkly carbonation.

Overall, a balanced "Tripel light".

Good caramel presence with a spicy character. This one goes along the classical belgian christmas ale. It's enjoyable enough but not one you'll remember for the rest of your life

From Uvinum. In Tongerlo chalice. Playing South Park The Stick of Truth.From Uvinum. Not much spicy like in a Christmas beer. More like a tripel but with less alcohol an sugar. Overall pleasant and easy to drink

Beautiful looking beer, amber brew with towering fluffy head. Mildly spicy and nutty, awesome head retention, slightly musty aroma. Earthy, wooden, nuts....I am drinking this way out of season, but it’s still good.

Pours a hazy, maize color. 1/3 inch head of an off-white color. Great retention and great lacing. Smells of sweet malt, pale malt, hint of spice, hint of citrus, and a hint of nut. Fits the style of a Belgian Pale Ale. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of slight sweet malt, pale malt, metallic notes, and a hint of nut. Overall, good appearance, but aroma and body are oddly 'nutty' and almost lean towards being 'butterscotch-like'.
