A spiced sour brewed with cranberries, hibiscus, honey, toasted cinnamon, and cloves.
Taste: Like exploring a market in the dead of winter, your taste buds dart down avenue after avenue - toasted cinnamon alley first, sweet rich cranberry sauce next, all guided by balanced acidity. Floral notes from hibiscus leave a lingering touch before juicy cinnamon and cloves come back again.

33cl bottle bought at Põhjala Brewery & Tap Room, Tallinn. Pours hazy red with a short-lived white head with a slightly pinkish hue. Spicy, quite Christmassy aroma with cinnamon and almost glögg feel to it. Nice acidic hibiscus and fruity notes too. Refreshing, acidic and spicy. Still a nice and different winter/Christmas beer.

Tap, Lajbah. Hazy coppery, thin white head, nonlasting. Gentle soury nose, hidden by cinnamon and even more cloves. Gentle puckery sourness, gentle honey sweetness and mild bitterness. Fresh and great. Would love to try it mulled as well.

A hazed dark reddish amber ale with a thin lacing off white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with nice cinnamon, pleasant nutmeg, nice. In mouth, a nice tart mix of ground cherries, lactic acid, Epsom salts, cinnamon and nutmeg. On tap at L'autre Oeil.

Bottle. Amber color. Anis, berry fruit, honey and cinnamon in the herbal aroma. Sour flavor with cinnamon, cranberry’s, honey, floral notes, mint and clove in the complex flavor. Surprisingly good, in spite of the herbs

0.33 l bottle at Valhalla Craft Beer Bar, Zagreb. Dark amber or redish golden, small off-white head. Spicy, cinnamon, cloves, honey, malts, fruit, green tea. Sour, fruity, metallic, slightly spicy. Nice spicy character, still well balanced with sourness. Light body, moderate carbonation, light finish. Interesting.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

If you like mulled wine…then this is the beer for you. And I like that. So for me this one was really nice. Lovely fruity and Christmas spiced beer. Fine intensity in the aroma. Pleasant balanced sweetness and a semi dry ending. Nice evening sipper or by the bonfire. Probably very good warm also [Bottle from Vinmonopolet in Sarpsborg, Norway]
