Boks 500ml fra Kilpishalli. Mørk gyldenbrun. Veldig høyt tett skum med litt farge. Beskjeden aroma. Kanskje antydning til malt. Smaken syltynn. Marmelade. Tørr avslutning. Vanskelig å finne noe som minner om jul i denne.

Can [from Secret Santa Europe thanks to Rosenbergh] @ home. Clear amber color, medium to full sized lightly off-white head that lasts for quite a long time. Aroma and flavor both initially hit me with a slight piney hint, but that disappears after a while. Decent hoppy aroma and flavor throughout nonetheless, slightly sweet hints mostly in the aroma, flavor ends moderately bitter. Nice, solid session IPA.

50cl can from K-Supermarket Kamppi, Helsinki. Pours clear amber with a fairly fast dissipating head, Fruity and hoppy aroma with tropical fruits, pine and hints of caramel and citrus. Moderate to medium sweet with medium to low flavour intensity and bitterness. Not very Christmassy, but quite drinkable session IPA. Fair enough.

Almost clear, amber beer with big long lasting head. Exotic citrus fruits, malts, bread and hay on aroma. Taste has caramel, citrus, hay. Quite dry, a bit under medium body. Aftertaste is a bit stuffy. Ok british style beer from Olvi, even if there’s no hints of IPA or Christmas on anywhere else than name.
