Fra eksplosiv boks, RB-samling på Vistnes: en ubehagelig aroma bredte seg rundt bordet, og vi fryktet det verste - beer gone bad? Vi går på uten frykt, og det viste seg å være fornuftig. En velbalansert og lettdrikkelig juleøl.

Sweet malty aroma with a hint of berries. Round and well-balanced taste. Slightly watery.

500 ml can as Arktisk Juleøl sampled in 2009. Clear amber body with a moderate sized, dense tan head. Aroma has malt, toast and caramel. Flavor is sweet malty, caramel and mild bitterness. Medium body and rather short malty aftertaste. Drinkable, bur frankly rather boring. Nothing really going on, just another characterless Vienna.

Can at home. Golden red brown with a off-white frothy head which diminish fast. Not much aromas, but hints of some leather. More leather in the mouth with dried fruit and some oak. Thin and some slick mouthfeel. Actually more taste than expected. Not the worst christmas beer at this strenght.

Canned thanks to Rune ... copper ... thin lacing ... huge cinamin nose .... and i mean huge cinamon ... sweet toffee malts ... some lagery tones ... but the spice ...cinamon again... balnces out ... not complex or clever but decent enough... as you get further in you get used to the spice ad lagerness comes to the fore.

Canned, thanks Rune! Clear amber, rich head. Sweet and caramel with light body and rounded mouthfeel. Slight grassy backdrop to a very caramelly flavour, slight bitterness. Clean flavoured, pretty decent commercial semi-dark lager.

Can. An amber beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has notes of caramel and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and a bit of metal, leading to a dry bitter finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
