500ml bottle from local shop. Golden amber colour, white foam head and aroma of malt, fruit, hops. Taste is sweet, malty, toffee, caramel, biscuity, with some fruity hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying tangy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Bottle from HOTM. New brewery for me. Pours a clear gold-amber, small white head, nice retention. Aroma and taste of malt, lemon, apricot, floral hops. Nice bitterness in the finish. Light to medium bodied, slick. A very tasty hoppy clean English gold beer and should be top quartile for the style I reckon. Nothing Christmassy here though. Probably should be one of their core bottled beers, unless it is and this is just a re-badge.

bottle from Bierhuis Ossett. Golden yellow, tall white head, lovely floral hop aroma. Light-bodied, lovely malty background delivering loads of floral and slightly fruity hops. Smooth palate. Perfectly balanced, a true delight.

4.2% ABV Cask half-pint in The Station, Oakengates Shropshire on 12th Dec 2015. Golden pour with a smooth, creamy white head. Semi-sweet malty lead in both the nose and taste, no Christmas spice or character that I could find.
