Tongerlo Christmas is the Christmas beer from the eponymous abbey. Beneath the striking, creamy head lies an amber beer with a spicy, fruity taste supplemented by a complex aroma of noble hops.
An authentic abbey ale
The age-old tradition of the White Canons of Tongerlo lives on in this officially recognised Belgian abbey ale. Tongerlo Christmas is a special brew that is only available during wintertime.

Servida en tulipa, color ámbar oscuro, turbia, corona de espuma blanco hueso bastante bien retenida. En nariz emite notas de malta oscura, caramelo, levadura, ciruela seca, uvas, especias... En boca es afrutada, con marcados matices de malta y caramelo, dulzor medio, final ligeramente amargo, buenas notas de lúpulo bien especiadas. Una cerveza agradable, fácil de beber y disfrutar, rica.
