Viking Brewing Juleøl

Thanks to akevitt for sharing. Hazy yellow beer with a spicy aroma. Highly carbonated with cinnamon and other spices in the body.

Bottle from trade with Akevitt. Pours a slightly hayz, orange-golden body with a small off-white head. Cloves, some yeast, malt and cardamom aromw which feels kinda strange. Sweetish, spiced flavor with cloves, cardamom and some orange rind. Medium body, rather dryish. It’s not a bad beer, it’s just too special. (080216)

Nutmeg, cinnamon, flowers, orange, some barnyard. Not much beeriness here, on the sour side. Sometimes you try too hard to be inventive!

Biggish shiny white head. Hazy deep yellow body. Intense herbal floral aroma. Intense acidic floral herbal taste with a vinegary character. Sharply spicy, Very interesting, but too vinegary for me. (0.33l bottle thanks to yngwie.)

Pale yellow, fizzy, medium head. First impression is wow! this is something different. Body is light and fizzy, but the flavor is what distinguishes it. Slightly sweet light citrus fruit followed by a mild dry spiced finish. Also getting a bit of peppery tang on my lips at the end. I tried this beer a couple weeks ago when my girlfriend had one, and it tasted awful! Not sure if it was a bad bottle or what, but this doesn’t seem nearly as bad. Just an easy drinking holiday sipper.

This is very disappointing. Pours a very pale yellow with close to no head. Aroma is almost vinegary. Taste is sour and acidic what I think battery acid may taste like.

Thanks to akevitt for sharing. Pours a semi-cloudy pale yellow-orange body. Spicy aroma, predominantly nutmeg. Light bodied with a fizzy mouthfeel. Sweet taste with overtones of citrus fruit and cinnamon.
