Denne ol er håndbrygget med stor omhu og på verdens reneste vand. Vandet stammer fra den grønlandske indlansis, some ca. er 180.000 år gammel og mere end 3km tyk. Det enorme tryk midt på, presser isfjelde ud i de mange fjorde. Fiskerne har i deres små fiskekuttere udvalgt de små isfjelde, der bliver smeltet og anvendt i denne ol. Øllet er herefter transporteret tværs over Atlanten og har derfor været langt undervejs, for at kunne nydes med stot velbehag.
This beer is hand-brewed with great care and with the world's purest water. The water comes from the Greenland ice sheet, which is approximately 180,000 years old and more than 3km thick. The enormous pressure in the middle pushes icebergs out into the many fjords. The fishermen have selected the small icebergs in their small fishing boats to melt and use in this beer. The beer is then transported across the Atlantic and has therefore come a long way, in order to be enjoyed with great pleasure.

Bottled. Rubyish amber colour, beige head. Aroma is hoppy, caramelly and spicy. Flavour is quite the same, a very viennaish beer. I would almost say watery palate...

Thanks Papsoe. Dark ruby color, small off-white head. Aroma is spicey (clove) and caramelly. Christmasy flavor too - almost like Vienna: caramelly and toasty with spices added (of course being an ale, it is a bit more fruitier than Scandinavian Christmas Viennas). Actually quite light palate for 6 % beer. Drinkable seasion brew, but I would add some malts here.

Bottle, 6%. Nice, warm chestnut colour. Hoppy aroma and flavour. The flavour gets a bit sour, probably due to too much aroma hops.

On tap @ Horsens Beerfestival. Hazy red/brown body with a small orange head. Nice aroma of hop and spices. This is a much more complex beer than the Brown and Pale ale. A sweet and malty flavor with some fruit, spices and alcohol.

50cL bottle. Pours dark golden brown with light brown/orange and lasting head. Smells spicy. First taste is very complex. Clear caramel feel, tastes of malt, spice, yeast and alcohol. Clearly more complex than the two other beers (Pale Ale and Brown Ale) but not what I would expect from a Christmas ale - this could go for any season of the year.

(On tap) Slightly hazy orangey brown with a small, off-white head. Spicy, lightly sweet caramel aroma. Quite full-bodied, sweet with loads of malt and spices. A discreet hoppiness. 281006
