Bottle 0,33: Hazy dark orange colored brew with dry bitter taste, hints of citrus, caramel and pine. But i expected Christmas beer and i get an normal IPA, why not some Christmas spices with it.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a vaguely hazy, orangey golden with a small, off-white head. Nose is sort of oxidized toffee. Medium body, sof on the palate, fruity and then again this oxidized note. Semi bitter finish. Appears a bit like old oxidized US IPAs that had taken ages in transit. 310119

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet. ABV is 6%. Deep golden to amber colour, moderate white head. Strong fruity and piney aroma of Enigma hops. Hoppy flavour, fruity and piney notes again, but not sharp. Nicely balanced by smooth malts, with a hint of caramel. Another winner from Thornbridge.
