Bottled. An unclear orange beer with a huge light orange head - like whipped cream. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and yeast. The flavor is sweet spicy combined with notes of caramel, and malt with a light alcohol burn on the tongue, leading to a dry spicy end.

(Bottle 33 cl) Hazy, amber golden with a gigantic and vey lively, off-white head - sort of shaving foam like. Very spicy aroma with some yeast. Full body with fruity accents, loads of diacetyl and a chemical unpleasant and very distinct bitterness. I’m not really fond of this. 150107

From tap, Kerstbierfestival 2007 in Essen/Belgium. Pours slight hazy orange with a huge off-white head. Caramel malt and hoppy aroma. Flavour is sweet and quite hoppy. Solid bitterness in the finish. Lovely

Bottle. Hazy orange golden color with a huge off-white head. Aroma is hops, hops, hops and citrus, grapefruit and a little caramel malt. Falvor is heavy bitter with a long duration and some sweetness in the end. But very biiter / grapy. Dry and soft.

Bottle at KØ07. Ugly milky caramel brown colour. White head. The flavour is OK, though. Quite peppery with some spicy hop flavour.

Bottled (from Belgian Shop). Hazy deep amber colour with a small fluffy white head. Some lace. Aroma is rather sweet malts along with some slight alcohol as well as spices and herbs. Flavour is being quite much the same, along with some slight spicyness. A bit grassyness in the finish. Zesty and alcoholic in the finish. Still in a nice balance.

Appearance: hazy orange, big creamy off white head, lots of drippy lace,
Aroma: sweet malt aroma with lots of balancing spicyness and a light peppery character,
Flavor: dry malt flavor, lots of floral hops, hop flavor blends into a spicyness that’s a combination of hops and Belgian yeast phenolics, nice fruity esters climb out from under the spicyness and add a touch of sweetness to complement and balance the otherwise dry character, nice long bitter finish,
