Muddy light blond color. Washing water, with some citrus fruits. Completely wrong flavors, some residual sweetness, some citrus, no malt, no bitterness. Very bad!

75cl bottle. Beautiful chestnut colour with lasting beige head. Yeast, candy sugar, spice and full in mouth. But overly sweet. Shame, beautiful looking beer but just too sickly

75cl bottle from Auchan. Hazy green gold colour with thick tight white head. Very, very lemoney almost artificially so. Even so this has a nice blanche taste. However the lemon flavour is a bit over the top and a tad soapy

On tap at Fynske Øldage, Odense, Denmark. Malty and sweet aroma. Clear, amber beer with an off-white head and low carbonation. Citric and sweet flavor. Miss the Christmas-feeling in this one, but it is not bad at all. (051029)
