Kerstbierfestival 2007 Von diesem Bier wurden lediglich 20 hl gebraut. Herber Antrunk, etwas bitter, in Teilen fruchtig. Eingeschränkte Hefigkeit, etwas alkoholische Bitterkeit im Nachgeschmack, kurz vorher steigt die Hopfigkeit stark an und wirkt etwas übertrieben, zuletzt kräuterartig. Test vom 20.12.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,8,9,10,-,8 - 8,89

Bottled@Kerstbierfestival, Essen. Hazy yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is cellar, fruits and yeast along with some mild earthy and woodenness. Flavour is the same in a perfect balance.

Bottle Kerstbierfestival 2007: Poured a hazy golden blonde with a white head. The aroma was fruit citrus and yeast. The taste is hoppy metallic with nice bitter splash to the tastebuds, there is also that citrus presence.

Good whipped egg-white head, very muddy beer with a greenish bathtube shine. Spicy nose, but all the spices blending well together, so as none comes out. Maybe a bit citrus & juniper berry. Sweet-sourish taste, hint at coriander and citrus. Soupy, perfumey, coming on stronger warming up. Rather creamy MF but alleviated by a very present carbonation. Medium bodied. Please, Jef, go easy on the spices. An excellent beer doesn’t need to impose itself.

Bottle: Poured a deep cloudy yellow/beige color ale with a huge foamy head with great retention and loads of foam sticking to the glass. Aroma is quite spicy which is probably coming from the yeast strain used by the brewer. Taste is a mix between some deep semi-sweet Belgian malt, some fruity ester and a spicy finish from the yeast with some light funky notes as well. Body is full with limited filtration with some great carbonation. Very well done overall but I still think this is a notch below the Dupont.
