Region: Netherlands
Rating: Intermediate
The other beer in the Christoffel collection, this is another 'strong' beer with 8.7% alc. Now, since I'm lazy and it's my beautiful daughter's 2nd birthday, I'm going to let someone else describe this for you. Again, lovin' the flip-top, and my wife likes the bottle because it 'looks like a Christmas' beer. No matter what time of year, it's sure to be a gift.
"Bottled unfiltered, it pours a dark and hazy golden-orange with a large and creamy white head. The aroma makes it obvious that the beer has been dry-hopped, as there's a ton of citrus peel, cut grass and floral notes on the nose, along with hints of orange-blossom honey, bread crust and mild yeast. Honey and toast are the initial flavours, followed quickly by orange zest and spice, a bit of yeast, and a finish that is long and hoppy without being excessively bitter or astringent. Make no mistake, this is a big beer in every regard, but it's also got enough balance to keep things in check, the alcohol in particular, making it a pleasure to drink."
Christmasy without the cram!
