Mar 21, 2007 33 cl bottle, ’bbe’ ... Dark blond, greenish hue, clear. The head doesn’t hold for long. Complex aroma - it begins with yeast and fruit (mandarins, bananas). Some malts and a hint of hops come later, followed by barnyard notes only later. The latter is convincingly present in the taste, though; which is for the rest dry, sourish, again giving off some mandarins. Chalky finish. Almost every sip reveals something new. Is this really a pils? It tastes more like a mixture of ale and lambic. Infected then?

Mar 11, 2007 A Sim rate (Bottle at Smellirium): First, I just must mention that I hate this place...just hate it! And Kerstbier? Um... wha? Looks and tastes like a pils to me. Slightly spicy, though perhaps tainted perception due to the 4-day-old ginger cookie I just ate. No worry, added a bit of character to an otherwise personality-less excuse for a Kerst.

Feb 5, 2007 Bottle. Surprisingly OK. Sweet, but clean and slightly grassy in the finish. A drinkable pils, if not a very exciting one.

Feb 3, 2007 Bottle. Clear, pale golden with a big white head. Faint malty nose with a hint of grassy hops. Sweet and grainy flavours, some grassiness. Fizzy. Uninspired.

Jan 24, 2007 Bottle. Golden color. Clear, but not filtered. Greapefruit overshadows the hops in the aroma. Light flowery hopbitter flavor with grapefruit and a hint of blackcurrant. Very refined flavor, glorious aroma. Delicately balanced. But sadly a rather short finish. Still a very nice beer.

Dec 21, 2006 (Bottled) Clear golden color with a medium, tight and foamy head. Grassy, saaz-hoppy aroma with some yeastiness. Grassy-hoppy, quite malty flavor with caramel, birch leaves and earthy tones. Medium-bodied, refreshing palate with slightly fizzy carbonation. A nicely tasty and balanced, freshly hoppy pilsener. A less interesting version of Vandenheuvel Ekla. Nothing to do with christmas, but that’s ok...
