First brewed in 1998. One of the few blond beers (9%) brewed for the Christmas period. Our careful choice of its different malts, its hopping and its spices release exceptional aromas which will make you want to sample it again next winter. EBC 12.

Credited as Bon Secours de Noël. Draught. Strange bonbon aroma. Yellow boring colour, no head. Very weet flavour with some weird aftertaste.

(Flip-top bottle) Hazy orange. Fluffy white head, going down fast. End of bottle completely opaque, not very appetizing colour. Alcoholic, nutty, oxidation in the nose (??? bottle is 3 years to BBdate). Something spicy as well. Taste: beucch - liquorice. TONS of the stuff. The very strange, meaty, or rather meatjuice in aspic, specific to this beer, is there again, but it is more subdued than the first time I had this beer. Sweet, meaty-yeasty. The liquorice keeps hanging around, but gets less obvious, to be superseded by an orangezest flavour. Full bodied; soupy, thick mouthfeel. It is a strange beer, not only because of its colour. Somehow I wonder if the yeast used can cope with the OG/ABV.

Bottled. Pale orange, lively and cloudy. Strong aroma of peach, toffee and cheese crackers. Medium sweet. Fruity and yeasty with soft maltiness. Real corny and very tasty.

Cloudy golden color. Some hop and malt in the aroma, candi sugar. Pretty sweet, malty, equilibrated in all, a background fruity note (banana...). Palate and hop are just right. Dangerous.
