Ever since the Viking era, the Christmas beer tradition has been strong in Norway. As stated in the 'Gulatingsloven' (a regional law text valid until 1274), every farmer was bound by the law to brew beer for Christmas and christen it according to the new faith, otherwise running the risk of losing his assets to the king and bishop. The Christmas beer was normally brewed from the best grain of the season and would be strong with a rich malt flavour. Dahls Christmas Brew is a modern version of the traditional Norwegian Christmas beer.

Dahls Christmas Brew is a Vienna type beer with an amber colour. The aroma is slightly fruity with notes of banana, freshly based bread and caramel. This beer is medium-bodied with a taste of toasted malt and sweet caramel.

0,5 boks fra Meny Hundvåg, hjemme en søndag ettermiddag: klar rødlig kobber med fint skum som varer. Lav bitterhet men ok maltsmak med karamell og hint av krydder. En lettdrikkelig og kortvarig glede. Julestemningen lar fortsatt vente på seg. (4,6% iflg boksen)

Pours hazy amber with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, bread, caramel, floral and some fruitiness. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter with a long caramel, bread and slightly metallic finish. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

Nutty brown colour with a small tan head that soon vanish. Sweet caramel malt aroma. A bit thin texture. Mostly some moderate sweet caramel malt in the flavour. Im not running back to the grocery store to get another one.
