This Christmas, why not take a sneak peek into this Lemon Cake DIPA? After all, it is named after the most curious Icelandic Santa Claus. Window-Peeper.

Draught @ Fox & Hounds, Sønderborg. Pours cloudy straw with stable white head. Clear aroma of vanilla and yeast, with touches of malt. Biter flavour of citrus and hops, with notes of vanilla, lactose and yeast, and touches of malt. Dry and bitter aftertaste with rough notes of yeast and vanilla. Decent.

On tap at Sk�li, pours an opaque dirty orangey yellow with a small white head. Aroma is full of lactose and citrus upfront, followed by fruity hops, citrus peel, and lemon cake. Flavour is full of tart citrus, plenty of lactose, some resinous hops, and stone fruit pith. I'm not a huge fan of the style, but it's well-made. Nice use of the lemon and lactose, and the body isn't too chalky. Good.
