This is the low alcohol version of Falcon's Christmas lager. It is dark nut brown with quickly fading head. Slightly roast aroma, rather thi, and very thin - almost like a malta, and has a sugary finish. It is still better than most of the beers brewed under the Falcon label these days.

Dark brown-red colour with strange airy head. This beer is a mix of a dark lager, lemonade and spices I believe, and you can feel that. Huge, sweet cardamom aroma, syrup flavour, strange, soapy body, no bitterness.

Deep ruby colour, almost purple. Pale brown head. Big cardamom-aroma. Lots of cardamom in the taste as well. There where other spices too but i couldn't quite recognize them. A somewhat unbalanced beer.

A nut brown strong christmas lager. Sweet, but not unpleasantly so. Unfortunately the rest of the beer is just that. Too much alcohol, too little malt, too little hops and too little flavour.

[Canned] Pours dark copper with a rocky head. Sweet and malty aroma. Flavour is sweet and malty with a light ashy, roastiness followed by a sharp, metallic bitterness with notes of tobacco.

Dark amber / ruby colour, moderate head. Fudge-like aroma with a hint of alcohol. Taste of black currants and liquorice. The alcohol kicks you in the back of the mouth. Somewhat thinnish palate.

Full-bodied, roasted taste that stays in your mouth for a long time. It's beyond me that such a crap brewery like Pripps manage to come up with such a great brew like this.

In this beer you can clearly taste the typical Pripp-Taste: Unpleasantly sweet/sour, nothing that is even close to beer-taste. Why is Pripps Swedens biggest brewery??!!? Beats me.
