Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Thanks Hayduke! This beer looks like honey in the glass. Gold with lots of active carbonation and a light gold head that lasts forever. Layered lacing. Nose is fruit and yeast with peppery spice. Flavor is similar similar. Pepper leads with tangerine and sugar. Yeast is in the background. As the beer warms less pepper and more fruit is note
Flaske: Orange klar l med et minimalt skumhoved. Kraftig duft af julekrydderi. Smagen er ogs domineret af dette julekrydderi og alkohol. Det der trkker den op er en god mundfylde og en god bitterhed med bid i.
Bottle. Orange color with small head. Unfortunately, it was not very good. Too spicy for my taste. Ginger is a bit tricky, too much of it is not tasty.
