Strong hoparoma. Bit of citrus. Hoppy taste, just a bit tart. Caramel and citrus. Must be a few years old, but carries the years with dignity. Excellent beer!

Notes from early 90s. Bottle from 1991, at 8%. Pours an orange to amber color. Aroma’s: caramel malts (not really sweet though), light bitterness. Flavor: hard to describe, neutral, but still flavorful if that makes any sense. Malty I guess, without the sweetness. Medium bodied. Rather strong alcohol feel. Finishes with a firm bitterness.

This was a blonde Christmas ale brewed in Zottegem until the brewery lost its environmental permit and ceased to exist, though Strubbe continued production for a while. Soft, sweetish main character spiced with coriander and curaçao, well-balanced. Too bad it doesn’t exist anymore.

Golden/copper christmas beer, instead of the usual deep brown collor. Rest of the beer is quite usual unfortunately. Nice though.

Flavour is sweet malty with a slight dry woody/malty note. Has a slight bitterness mixing in with a solid malt flavour and some slight yeasty spiced note.

Bottle Kerstbierfestival 2007: Copper with a off white head. The aroma is a cereal grain with spice. The taste is sweet with more of that cerealness and some alcohol. The age of this beer did not do it well!

[Sampled at Stockholm Beer Festival 2005 - old bottle] A hazy orange beer with a huge light brown head. The aroma is very yeasty and slightly acidic - it bears notes of being old. The flavor is malty with notes of roasted malt, and lots of yeast, combined with a dusty straw note, and again signs of being over the top. I believe this has been a great beer.
