Bottled. Deep amber color and a small beige head. Malty aroma with roasted notes and some hops. The flavor is too hoppy, yet far, far away from an IPA, with the maltyness second. Could use more sweetness. Medium to thin body and a bitter finish with some roasted notes. A decent beer, nothing more. (061125)

Big offwhite head shrinks rapidly. Red body with some carbonation. Light rubbery aroma, possibly with a hint of roastiness behind the rubber. Taste is watery bitter rubber with roasty, grainy aftertaste. Too watery for my taste, and definitely too much rubber. Yuck. I’d rather have a decent pilsener with my Christmas dinner. (0.33l bottle.)

(330 ml bottle). Light brown colour, malty and caramelly aroma, good to moderate head. Light bodied as expected, moderate malty flavour with some toffee and spices. Not too sweet, very well balanced. Too light bodied for Christmas, but this is a beer I'd be happy to drink with dinner at any time of the year, if it was available. Fredrikstad Juleøl klasse F is a better choice for Christmas dinner.
