oh6gdx (4943), Vaasa, Finland Jun 18, 2008 Bottled. Hazy amber colour with mediumsized head. Aroma is cloves, zest and yeast. Flavour is the same along with some really strange sweetness, probably infected bottle here too. MoritzF (3593), Ruhrpott, Germany Jun 17, 2008 (bottle, courtesy of Papsoe) Hazy, dark amber colour with a big but non-persistent light-beige foamy head. Dusty, sweet toasty malty nose with subtle fruity notes and anise, accompanied by a barnyardy stench. Sourish, infected flavour, medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Sourish fruity taste that covers almost all the malty flavour; sourish, berry fruity like finish. The negative highlight of an evening of infected brews. Yuck (10.06.08).

This must be a joke. Sand palate and infected - together with the spices it is horrible yngwie (3322), Kristiansand, Norway Apr 26, 2008 Bottle. It pours an unclear, brown body with a decent but diminishing beige head. The aroma has a very disturbing sourness, sure this one must be infected, as well as dried fruits and some dusty notes. Really lemon-sour in the mouth, rather thin-bodied, with a little sweetish touch and some roasted notes. Lasting, sour finish. Well, I like my Christmas beers on the sweet side, and not on the extreme sour side like this one. On the other hand, I don’t think it was intended to make an infected brew. Scheisse! (080426)
