Pinkus Jubilate (Germany)
Brilliant copper to amber color. The nose is filled with scents of toasted grains accented with a touch of a floral hop note. The palate comes across as quite light initially but it really grows on you blossoming with each sip. It shows great depth with a richness that is never heavy or imposing. If finishes clean with trailing notes that echo the nose perfectly. 3 Stars
De Ranke Pier Noel (Belgium)
Hazy copper color with a thick, rich head. The nose is quite vinous with deep accents of sweet malt, toasted grains, sour cherry, wood, ginger, nutmeg, citrus zest and gooseberry. The palate echoes the nose with soft cider flavors trailing on the finish. Often a favorite but this year’s version doesn’t live up to years past. 3 Stars
Castle Eggenberg Brewery Samichlaus Bier (Austria)
Bright copper color. The nose is wildly fruity with scents of cherry, orange peel, currants, sherry, roasted nuts, and gobs of sweet malt. The palate echoes the aromatics while being ultra sweet and powerful. Brewed only once a year on December 6 then aged for 10 months before bottling. Old vintages are enjoyed as holiday specialties. This beer has somewhat of a cult following but I find a bit out of whack with it’s alcohol strength. 3 Stars
Hanssens Mead Gueuze (Belgium)
Bright, pale gold and turgid. Crisp with the dominate citrus character tamed by semisweet notes of wild honey and sweet grains of malt. Grassy in the finish with lingering sour flavors with tart baked apples and pears. 3 Stars
