2.6 31-12-19 // 500ml bottle shared. Thanks to my uncle. Clear golden. White head. Boring. Sweetish malty. Boring.

2.9 # 708; 4/2017. Sladší, velmi sladový až medový pivo s trochu drsnější kořenitou hořkostí.

2.7 Flaske: Pilsnergul klar øl med et flot skumhoved. Duften er sødlig rismalt. Smagen er klassisk makro. Jeg ved ikke hvordan jeg skal beskrive den helt, men den går igen i alle makrolagere.

3.1 Clear amber body with an average foamy white head. Aroma is malty with notes of rosemary and lavender. Taste is malty, caramel. Medium malty finish. Medium body soft carbonation oily texture

2.7 A german, amber, clear Märzen with white head. Aroma is malt, bisquit, yeast, toasted bread. Taste is bitter sweet.

2.4 500ml bottle at home, Stuttgart. Aroma is light malt. Appearance is light cloudy brown with a light brown-ish form. Taste is slight bitter. A bit watery. Ok.

2.9 No association to christmas for me. just a sweet lager. Full taste with a touch of sugar and caramel and nice hopping

3.5 Smaczne, lekko karmelowe, bursztynowe w barwie. Piana gęsta i nie opadająca.

2.4 Nic szczególnego, zwykły łagodny lager. Kolor złoty, krystaliczny. Piana na początku obfita, opada po 2 minutach

3.6 Bottle from a stall at the Edinburgh Christmas market. Appearance - deep amber with decent lacing. Nose - toffee and nuts. Taste - more toffee and nuts. Tanya orange and honey. Palate - mediumbodied and creamy yet sweet and tangy. Nice taper on the finish. Overall - good.

3.3 Orange golden, klar mit weißem Schaum. Leicht hopfig herb und etwas getreidig. Im Abgang leicht erdig.

3.7 From bottle at Ganddal 24.12.18. Deep golden. Diminishing white head and lacing. Aroma of sweet pilsner malt, heather and dried red berries. Good drinkability.

2.6 Sampled from 0.5 l bottle from local 'trinkgut', best before June 2019. Clear, golden with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, malty, a bit floral-grassy aroma of grains, some straw and hints of honey. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, slightly floral-grassy taste of grains, some straw and traces of vanilla, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly grassy-spicy finish. Medium body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Quite okay, nothing too great.

3.2 Drunk from a flip top bottle on a train. Aromas of mild coffee, herbs, toast, cloves, and rye bread. Sweet and sugary, with a nice, fairly assertive bitterness. Light to medium body, with a grainy, sticky mouthfeel. A little weak, but pretty nice.

3.0 Bottle at Beerbohm Lichfield; clear amber pour with a big bubbly off white head, aroma has spice and sweet malts, taste has slight winter spicing, mellow citrus, strong grain bill

3.1 Light golden in color. Slightly sweet with mild flavor. Very delicious christmas beer.

2.9 Butelka 0,5l. Aromat słodowy, delikatnie karmelowy. W smaku słód, karmel, delikatna goryczka.

3.1 Copenhagen 15/11 2018. 50 cl bottle with swing cap from Meny, Østerfælled Torv, Kbh Ø. Drawing of vintage Santa with a bag full of Goodies - including beer - and a starry Night sky in the background. Pours clear golden yellow with medium-sized white head. Settles as thin almost transparent layer of foam almost covering the surface of the beer. No lacing. Aroma is malty without being too sweet. Grains, caramel, very light roast. Something moderately bitter lurking in the background. Medium carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, lightly prickly texture. Flavor is medium sweet followed by a more moderate but noteworthy bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet but intermingling with a moderate but more pronounced bitterness. Lingers shortly. Not adventurous or very Christmas-like. But I suppose a solid malt base suits a Christmas Beer just fine.

3.4 A bit too bitter. Slight astringency . Good body for the style, simple but enjoyable, bottle from Denns dresden

1.5 Bier is zoet en kruidig van smaak. Heeft daarnaast niet veel bijzonders. Het bier mist wat bijzonders. -backlog de BierApp-

3.0 From backlog. 0,5 litre Bottle at Christmas party at The in-laws. Golden with little white head. Malts, hops and some bitterness.

2.9 Malz, Malz, Malz. Leider definieren sich viele Weihnachtsbiere, wie auch dieses nur darüber. Raffinierte Aromen sind leider die Seltenheit. Auch hier karamellig malzig rund, wenn auch etwas wässrig. Leider aber auch bedeutungslos.

3.3 Fles 50cl thuis. Wat zoet. Licht kruidig. (3-2014).-----------------------.

2.6 500ml bottle. Clear golden beer, small white head. Nose is pretty macro, grass, hop extract, grainy hops. Flavor is pretty malty, but with detracting grain notes. Finish is sweet and malty with industrial notes. Macro, but drinkable.

2.8 50 cl. flip-top bottle @ home, bought @ Mitra Nieuwegein. Clear golden with a big white head. Malty grainy aroma. Bittersweet taste. Solid German brew but not very Christmas-like.

2.7 Bottle. Dark clear golden with a short-lived white head. Aroma of grains and noble hops. Taste is grainy, slightly spicy and some floral hops. Medium carbonation. It's ok I guess but I wonder why I still bother with Mönchshof as they never fully satisfy me. At least there is a Santa Claus on the label and the family didn't seem to be offended.

2.9 Helles braun schöner schaum, würzig malzig süßer Geruch, im Geschmack ebenfalls mir etwas zu süß

2.5 Pours clear golden with a thick, creamy head, which does not last long. Has more body (and taste of alcohol) than the classic Hell. Not that bad, but it also does not live up to a great brew, suitable for Christmas.

1.6 Das Mönchshof Weihnachts Bier der Kulmbacher Brauerei AG. Der Nikolaus auf dem Etikett macht Laune. Etwas dunkleres Goldgelb im Glas, kurzlebige Schaumkrone. Beim Antrunk erscheint sofort die Hopfenbittere, der Körper scheint absolut leer zu sein, zum Schluss kommt etwas Restsüsse zum Vorschein. Hier wird wie immer bei der AG, Hopfenextrakt verwendet. Trinkbar, aber kein Muss. Für mich kein Festbier!

1.8 Nice bottle but no detail information about this beer here. Clear golden beer with a big fine white head, smell is typical Pils, grass, taste is also grass, very light malty, light body, thin, fizzy carbonation, not special, boring, I feel here not the special for the winter season, (I have 0.5l bottle with best-before 22.06.18 and batch A1 01:52)
