An slight orange coloured, a head is small and blond. Aroma has mild fruitness, herbs and some fat from the Christmas ham. Taste has fruitness and herbs, fat, not fresh enough, bitterness is quite mild with green leaves. Medium bodied. I don't like this, the Christmas ham shouldn't be in the beer, weak.
