Warning! Early amateur rating! Draft at the Brew Wharf mini beer festival. Complex beer. Fruity and malty notes. Quite a lot going on but mild.

(Bottle, Surjämten, Duved, 23 Dec 2010) Amber colour with frothy, beige head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of apricots, orange, caramel and fresh citrussy hops. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, apricots, orange and a fresh citrussy bitterness in a finish with a slightly earthy bitterness. Slightly more than medium body, with some sweetness shining through. Tasty and well balanced. Very nice beer.

500 mL bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear amber color with a medium sized offwhite creamy head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of toasted malts, caramel, spices and a bit of butterscotch. The taste is grainy malts, nutty notes, some toastiness, a bit of citrus and a spicy finish. Medium bodied. Decent beer.

500ml bottle from Vino Wines Grange Loan in Edinburgh. Gets an extra score for the cool label illustration of the relaxing Santa. Pours a fragile, white head on top of a golden-amber coloued body. Notes of Christmas spices to the nose. Lightly spiced with hints of nutmeg and cinnamon, added by a careful touch of leafy hops. Rounded, spiced bitter end. Very average (hotel room, 28.11.2010).

Pour is an almost red with a large white head. Aroma is spiced out the wazoo. Flavor is also all about the spice. I deffinatly get the nutmeg and cinnamon. Finish leaves a little earthy malt on the tounge. Enjoyable and sessionable even with all the spice.
