2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 7/20 asimeow (225) - Sandsli, NORWAY - DEC 27, 2014
0,5l bottle. Amber, red with medium white head. Fresh smell of hops, but with a pilsnerish yeasty undertone. The taste is heavy on the yeast. The hops are too anonymous and the malt overwhelmed by the yeast. Not very good.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 Holmen1 (3744) - Stavanger, NORWAY - DEC 27, 2014
0,5 l flaske fra Rema Hundvåg, delt med Kitty: nydelig rødlig kobberfarge med fint skum. Beskjeden maltaroma med karamellpreg og diskret humle. Smaken er balansert og behagelig, karamell, litt citrus og forsiktig bitterhte. Lett å drikke, og Kitty likte den riktig godt. En helt ok men ikke minneverdig aperitif 3.juledag.

Bottle at Kaptein Larsen, Bodø. The colour is clear amber with a creamy, beige head. Aroma of dried apricot, fruity hops, fudge, mowed grass and wet hay. The flavour has more grassy hops, some caramel, hay, some metal and something sweet in the background. Has a light and slick mouth feel. A well balanced and easy drinking ale with a distinct hoppy touch.

Rødbrunfarge med hvitt skum. Lukter malt og noe krydder. Synes den har litt lite smak. Letdrikkelig, og noe bitter ettersmak.

500 ml bottle. Good looking, clear, deep golden body with a fine, lacing off-white head. Aroma has caramel malt, fruit and hint of spices. Flavor is medium sweet malt, caramel, citric fruit and moderate bitterness. Medium body and aftertaste. Not bad at all for a beer intended for the grocery shop marked, not very exiting but decent and pretty all round for food as well.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 larsga (6824) - Oslo, NORWAY - DEC 20, 2014
Big beige head. Clear amber body. Fruity mealy linoleum aroma with
spicy notes. Sweetish fruity linoleum and wood taste with spicy
orangey notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish mealy
fruity orange peel aftertaste with spicy wooden perfumy notes. Its
not bad, but the orange character is slightly artificial, and the
flavours dont really gel. (0.375l bottle, from Føtex,
Frederikshavn.)
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 yngwie (15630) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - DEC 14, 2014
Bottle. A clear, amber colored beer topped by a dense, finger-thick light beige head. Nice lacings. The aroma has caramel dominating, almost completetly, but theres also a touch of something puke-like, only a vague touch though, and only in the first few seconds. After that some grassy, lightly citrusy notes show up. Caramel, some sweetness and sufficient bitterness, a touch of citrus peel and some toffee-ish hints in the flavor, the bitterness lasting for a good while. Its full to medium bodied, with a nice carbonation level, semi-dry. Some hints of metal in the very end. Overall, a quite good Christmas beer at store strength. 141214

This is a great hoppy Christmas beer at 4.6% abv. Less sweeten than traditional Scandinavian Christmas beers, dryer and hoppier. Nice pleasant flavour from Mosaic hops.
