13 December 2019. Christmas Beer Evening with the lovely Anke! Pours clear copper with a very thin, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of banana, honey, yeast, white bread, candied apricot. Taste has estery sweet banana, apricot & overripe apple, yeasty & bready overall with faint bitterness. Dryish, yeasty finish, some grassy hops, lingering esters & honey malts. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Too sweet for its own good.

Blonde, foamy head. Sugary peacharoma. Dry, thinnish. Alcohol, mandarin and peach in the flavor. Unexciting.

Flaska från belgiuminabox, ca 5 år gammal. Gyllengul, klar med lågt skum. Söt doft med torkade päron och äpple, honung, nektar. Fina eteriska dofter, värmande alkohol och fint integrerade smaker. Kanske lite platt och dammig eftersmak men annars trevlig.

Thanks for sharing! Sampled 330 ml. bottle @ Kerstbierfestival 2017. Very likely the same beer as “La Guillotine” & a whole bunch of other Huyghe beers. Orange golden, creamy white. Nose is unpleasant dead yeast, chemical, esters, soap,… Dead yeast, soap, esters, fizzy thin chemical, taste, rubbish.

Bubbly white head stayed on a very active light golden body. Yeast & malt aroma. Medium to thin bodied, finely carbonated & cloying on the finish. Bitter, yeast & grass tastes. Yet another Euro Lager style Christmas beer.
