Can from the advent calendar, drunk while replacing the string I broke practicing Thunderstruck. Orange brown hazy, pretty fine head. Stone fruit nose with hints of fresh plum. Flavor is full, in the front a bit of cotton candy fading to a pretty big, nice and smooth grapefruity bitterness. On the label I see some rye, that's the extra aftertaste whose identity I was searching for! Massive lupulin flavor when it warms up a wee bit. Tasty, especially with that big bitter punch compared to your average over sweetened neipa.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Hazy orange colour with a small white head. Aroma is toffeeish, floral, oaty and some mild vanilla and wood. Flavour is floral, toffeeish, nectary and some mild bitterness with some citrusy tones. kind of a bitter resiny edge to the smoothness. Aroma was promising, flavour sadly didn't do it for me.

Superficial tasted @ Håntverkeren juleølfestival. Unclear orange golden body under a small white head. Aroma is strong with tropical fruits. Taste is sweet and fruity with mango, peach, grapefruit and some fruity acidity. Medium body and same aftertaste. Average decent NEIPA, but I definitely don’t the Christmas vibe here whatsoever.
