larsga (2113), Oslo, Norway Nov 5, 2005 Medium white creamy head; clear chestnut brown body. Aroma of sweet malts and some hops, with hints of roastiness. Taste is clean, light and sweet, faintly watery, with some maltiness and faint roastiness. Aftertaste is pretty faint. A well-made beer, having nothing wrong with it, but definitely intended to please the Norwegian market by tasting as little as a Christmas beer could possibly get away with. Sigmund (1830), Hafrsfjord, Norway Nov 6, 2002 Updated: Jul 16, 2006330 ml bottle. Reddish brown colour, good head. Moderate toffee sweetness, moderately spiced flavour: cloves, cardamom, nutmeg. Not too bad, but of course it’s watery compared to the "klasse F" Juleøl. KnutAlbert (2133), Oslo, Norway Nov 5, 2006 Fine amber, small head. Fine, quite full flavour, roasted malt, sweetness - candy sugar - and a solid bitterness in the finish. I was pleasantly surprised. martinboer (1297), Amsterdam, Netherlands Dec 30, 2006 On tap at Tavern Pub in Oslo. Amber color. Spicy, heavy. Nice flavor that’s sweet and bitter. Good finish. Bit too watery but one of the better Juleols I tasted. thebeertourist (1694), Oslo, Norway Dec 17, 2006 On tap. Copper brown with a small, offwhite head. Fruity hop aroma, hints of nuts. Fruity flavours, good bitterness, dry, slightly harsh finish. Rather light-bodied. As good as it gets from Ringnes?
