Appearance: Nice bottle! Golden orange, some fizzy white head. Unpleasant floatie bits, lots of it. Aroma: Lots of fruit, quite sweet. Taste: Sweet and fruity. A bit flat. Floatie bits ruin it for me. Info: 330ml bottle, 18/5-2010

Sexy bottle is quite noteworthy. The beer itself is straw-colored and lively. Aroma of citrus and black pepper. Flavor is an interesting balance of sour and bitter, malt and hop combo is enhanced by light spice, maybe coriander. Medium body, nothing exceptional. Interesting Christmas beer, but not as special as the bottle might imply.

Bottle. A spiced Christmas ale, but actually not very exciting at all. Tastes a lot like Delerium Tremens with a bit more spice in it (and there is already too much). Lacking a punch, lacking any kind of strong definition. It was very disappointing, especially compared to the label!

330 ml. bottle. Gold color with a 1/4" white head. Slightly citrus/coriander aroma. Medium body with creamy carbonation. It is slightly citrus sour with yeast, mild spice and pale stone fruit flavors. Enough heat to be noticeable. Citrus at the finish seems enough to balance the sweet. Interesting. Different. Needs a bit more malt or dark fruit? Leaves me puzzled as to where it was supposed to go.

Claer golde with large short lasting head. Fruity aroma with yeast, alcohol, peach and orange peel notes. Flavor is sweet with strong alcohol note. Somewhat spicy and yeasty with discrete fruits notes. Very lively. Warming alcohol in the end.
