Julepils 2022. Superficial festival rating during Håntverkerens Juleølfestival 2022. Almost clear dark golden body under a big foamy tan head. Weak aroma of caramel malt. Taste is mild, quite straight forward malty pilsener. Medium body and average aftertaste. Decent for a lager and probably a god companion for many Christmas dishes as intended.

On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger, under its alias HaandBryggeriet Vårbokk. But this is neither a pilsener (way too dark for that) nor a bock (at a meagre 4.5%!), so if HaandBryggeriet want to piss people off, they're on the right track. Polotmavy is probably the closest style. The beer has the dark colour of a Münchener Dunkel, but not the malty sweetness. Aroma and flavour are \"clean\", the beer is smooth and easy to drink. Low bitterness.

0,44 boks fra julenissens restlager i Lars Hertervigs gate, hjemme: lett uklar kastanjebrun med forbilledlig skum. Et maltdrevet øl med fløyelsmyk munnfølelse, litt urter/skogbunn/krydder og med røde bær i avslutningen. En god juleøl også nå i februar. Håper den kommer på nytt.

440ml can bought at Gulating Ølutsalg in Bodø. Shared with lmojoh and Finn at an advent session. Hazy, rustic amber body, off-white head leaving clingy lacing on the glass. Inviting smell of caramel malts and herbal hops. Tastes fine with toffee, bread, ripe fruit, lightly spiced. Mid-sweet earth malty ending. Easy to drink. Yuletide feel okay. (Tromsø 16.12.2021).

8-4-6-3-13 Can, #1528, nine months before bbd. Pours clear copper, with a big creamy off white head. Aroma is roasted malts with biscuits and caramels, as well as zesty hops with herbal notes. Medium body, with average carbonation. Flavour is roasted malts with bread, burned sugar and leather, as well as bitter, zesty hops with herbal notes. Nice flavours, but a bit thin and one dimensional. What's a Czech lager if it's not decocted?
