Pours reddish-amber with a small off-white head. Light aroma, some caramel, light spice. Flavor is caramel malts, spice, slightly sweet. Decent mouthfeel, not too carbonated. A fair winter brew, especially when considering the price.

The beer pours a reddish amber color with a large head that fades fairly quickly but stays steady at a small head that leaves some good lace. The aroma is clove and rye bread with some fruitiness and some American citrus flavored hops. The flavor is very spicy and fruity with a nice hoppiness. This reminds me of a spiced up Boston lager, not too bad really.

Pours a dark amber with a small white head. Aroma has hints of licorice. Tastes of roasted marshmellow and mild resiny hops. Overall a little bland, was expecting a little more hops and some more spice.

Smakerna flödar, genomströmmar upplevelsen som är Samuel Adams. Tar i med rejäla nypor för att vara en lager, men saknar ändå den där sista knuffen som gör det hela oförglömligt.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Decent wheat bock, lots of caramel and malt sweetness, discreet use of spices to get the holiday feeling. I would not go out of my way for this, but it could be a nice first step for novices to explore craft beers.

A straightforward beer; so-so. Basically just nut, wheat grain, wheat bread, and yeast. Not as good as Victory Moonglow, but good for the wheaty malt.
