Hazy amber colour with small off-white head.
Heavy hoppy, grapefruit, pine and resin aroma.
Harsh fruity hoppy flavour with grapefruit, lemon and orange and with much milder aftertaste. Slightly hoppy overdose, not in aftertaste.
Well, can’t find anything Jule in this one... Guess it’s a joke. TET (238), Finland
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 5, 2009 Cloudy, orange beer with weak and white head. Aroma is fullfilled with exotic fruits, grapefruits, fructose and hint of glue. Sweet fruits, grapefuit, hint of pine needles, some glue, medium bitterness and in the end the flavour turns into dry and long hoppy bitterness. Slippery and pleasant to drink. This is beer for hopheads but still beer is overally balanced with nice body, sweetness and hops. deyholla (713), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 24, 2009 Bottle. Poured a gold amber with an off-white head. Aroma was full of citrus and floral hops with a bit of caramel. Flavor began with a bit of sweet caramel but the hops quickly take over leading to a grapefruit flavor. Don’t know what its an xmas IPA but not a bad beer. mikkopen (264), Oulu, Finland

Very pleasant hoppy grapefruit aroma. The flavour is caramel-malty, with citrus fruits, pine and a very nice, lingering bitter finish. Not really a Christmas beer, but nonetheless very tasty.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 21, 2009 Bottle 0,5 l. Yellowy beige with offish white head. Nose is insanely nice, fresh hops, grass, flowers, perfume. Flavor has a lot of hops, perfumy soapy flowery hops with a twist of grass and some gummy bear juiciness. Not much malts to compensate, alcohol very hidden. It’s all about hops and this is an extreme beer. Quite a treat, but not perfect. And nothing christmasy about this really, which is good. rane (504), Nibe, Denmark
