Commercial Description:
This Belgian Noël takes it’s name from Jan Baptista van Helmont (1579-1644), the Flemish chemist and physician who first discovered CO and coined the word “gas” by recognizing the existence of gases distinct from air. This energy luminary was the founder of pneumatic chemistry and also the first to bridge alchemy and early chemistry. Hats off to the man behind the bubble. Proost and Happy Holidays!

Thanks to Andrew for sharing. Funky yeast aroma. Cloudy golden color with a decent white head and lacing. Belgian yeast flavor and sweetness. Some fruit like banana and slight clove spiciness. Was surprised to see this was 11.5%. Did not notice that at all in the flavor. Would like a little more body to balance all the spiciness and fruit.

750 ml, 2007 vintage. Cloudy golden-peach with a medium and lasting head. Sweet grape and spicy apple aroma, with slight alcohol. Taste is similar, with more alcohol. Nice bubblegum-estery aftertaste and pretty well-hidden alcohol for 11.5%. Light-medium palate is smooth, tongue tingly and dry. One of the better American takes on the style.

Courtesy Beerlando. Pours a cloudy starw color with a thin white head at the edges. Corny sweet Belgian yeast aroma, very grainy. Honeyed sweet malts over light Belgian yeasty background. 11.5% is very well hidden. A bit too sweet, but a commendable Belgain.

Courtesy Beerlando. This one poured a hazy golden orange color with a small foamy white head that leaves very little lacing. Has a nice floral aroma along with candy sugar, sweet citrus fruits, and orange peel. The flavor is much the same with orange and citrus fruits mixed with the candy sugar to give a nice sweet flavor. Some spices make their way through as the beer warms up along with the alcohol which is there all the way through. This one is very smooth with a creamy medium full body with a sweet/tart finish to it. I’m glad I got to try this one, it was good.

Bottle... O-Town Christmas Gathering ‘07... Hazy yellow ale with a small, creamy, white head. Good retention. The unusual nose provides herbal notes of English lavender, pale grains and alcohol heat. Full-bodied with a syrupy mouthfeel and modest carbonation. Almost heavily sweet, lightly bitter and mildly acidic. Sweet, herbal finish. A strange brew and not at all my thing. However, much thanks to Beerlando for giving me the opportunity to try this one!

Golden yellow, moderate to very mild head, slightly off white. Bready aroma, slightly sour to spicy. Medium to thick bodied. Flavor is sweet, slightly tart, slightly citrusy. Very nice beer

The body is a glowing, very lightly hazy orange-gold color. A small, foamy white head leaves behind minimal sudsy lacing. The aroma shows a very light, creamy lemon chiffon, with orange cake, candied sugar and subtle hints of yeast. The flavor follows suit, with a heaping helping of sweet, creamy citrus chiffon. Mild spices, particularly coriander, make themselves known as well. Finishes pretty dry and mildly sour. Smooth and very well balanced, with a creamy, medium-full body. I enjoyed this one quite a bit.

Courtesy Beerlando. Pours golden amber with minimal thin head.Sour apple caramel aroma. Caramel malt apple, very carbonated taste. Very tasty, leaves a sweet aftertaste.
