Can. Chistmas version, maybe not the same as on picture. No ABV written on can but yeast has been used acording to ingredietns list so I say it is a beer! Same style as danish "Hvidtøl". Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Amber colour. Moderate malty aroma. Very sweet flavor. Short finish. Syruply palate. OK hvidtøl.

Can. Clear, golden body, with a medium-sized white head on top. Mostly fruity aroma, quite sweetish, and with some alcohol. Really sweet flavor, all the way to the finish, with some hoppy fruityness and alcohol, but not much bitterness. The finish has some bitterness and fruityness. Medium body. A decent brew, but far from exciting. (071011)
