Jan 19, 2007 Bottled(250ml). –Deep golden/amber coloured, medium sized pale beige head. Sweet malty aroma with notes of spice, fruit, caramel and toffee. Just a few tiny hop hints. Sweet fruity and mild alcoholic finish. Nice notes of banana and orange in the aftertaste. In comparison with other Duyck beers that I’ve tried this Noël is quite good.

Jan 18, 2007 Pours a deep clear amber with a dense khaki head. Head dissipates to a wisp but leaves some soapy looking lacing. Smell is wonderful. Spicy and citrusy hops. Terrific aroma. Can’t say that I’ve had much that smells like these hops. Popperings Hommelbier smells similiar but not exactly like this.
Taste is a nice biscuity malt followed by the unusual floral hops. Far less dominant in the flavor the hops. Finishes surprisingly clean with a crisp hoppy finish. Mouth is medium. Only faint hops in the aftertaste. Really good and really drinkable. I could recommend this beer for the aroma alone.

Jan 11, 2007 Red chestnut colour with thin beige head. Aroma is quite caramellish and suprisingly a bit alcoholic. Taste is medium sweet, orange, some spice, plum. Finishes with light alcohol astringency. Watery medium body, somewhat undercarbonated.

Dec 31, 2006 Bottle - 750ml. Light musty malt aroma. Clear amber with small head. Light musty malt flavor - very light flower notes. Nice body - a bit on the weak side but good flavor. A nice Biere de Garde on the light side.

Dec 31, 2006 Tasted this last week at Val Cenis. Bottle, 75 cl. Hazy amber with a off-white head. Citrus en floral nose, a wonderful aroma. Flavor has a lot of orange hard candy taste, and finishing with a light spiced end. Interesting brew, still very nice, but the body feels thin.

Dec 25, 2006 750ml, there’s a piture of oranges on a label around the neck so i’m assuming this is the 2002. pours an amber with fluffy head. a pretty gross musty aroma with a hint of orange and possibly some cardomom. flavor is really gross. some stale orange flavor with a very musty and almost smoked aftertaste. a very dry and musty flavor in this. one of the worst beers i’ve ever had.

Dec 24, 2006 From a caged corked green 750 ml. bottle, H-5 on the cork, but I have no idea if that is a lot/batch number, sampled at a cooler cellar temperature in a chalice.
Poured a cloudy reddish orangey brown with a fluffy, foamy head that settled into a thin bubbly lacing.
Aromas of toasted grain, candied sugar and orange, a light musty herbal and a soft spiciness.
Good carbonation and a crisp, velvety smooth light-medium bodied mouthfeel.
Pleasant seasonal taste, toasted grains and candied sugar, a light caramel, a soft musty, herbal flavor along with a little clove, orange peel, some spiciness, a flash of alcohol towards the end, and a dry yeasty, malty finish.
A nice and balanced seasonal ale from Jenlain, well worth trying.

Dec 17, 2006 In the 750 mL bottle from Beertopia. pours a ruby deep amber with a medium off white to ivory head. Green bottle made this slightly skunked. Very slight orange blossom aroma peeks out of the skunk’s ass. Over powering first flavor is sweetness. A Texas Red grapefruit sweetness, without the concomitant citrus. Interesting brewed tea flavors as well. Slight amount of tannin-like wine flavors. Medium carbonation and medium body. Long finish of orange flavor without the citrus or sweetness- an orange oil bitterness. This is different stuff for sure.
