Peak Organic Winter Session Ale

This winter wheat beer uses dark malting to provide subtle toasty notes. We then single-hop and dry-hop this beer with Citra hops from our friend Brad’s farm. Interesting pineapple notes from the Citra hop provide a stark contrast to the toasty notes in the body. An engaging and sessionable Winter Seasonal.

2.8 Flaska från Beery Christmas. Bärnstensfärgad med mycket smutsvitt skum. Fruktig och lite syrlig doft. Rejäl beska och inte mycket mer.

2.4 Dry roasted malts and light citra hops clash a little more on my palate than the nose. Maybe in part cause this is a light fizzy beer (not what I want in a winter seasonal - session or not). OK at best.

4.4 Découverte dans la Berry Christmas (#22). Bière brune cuivrée. Étonnement houblonnée au nez. En bouche on retrouve une belle amertume dû au houblon, un petit retour sur du café et malt. Surpenante bière qui marie le houblon à une du malt bien torréfié. Superbe pour l’hiver. Vraiment une très belle découverte.

3.7 Saveur Bière Beery Christmas # 22. The beer has a nice reddish brown copper color. The beer is quite clear, with a tiny haziness. On top of the beer a normal layer of offwhite foam is formed. The foam collapses a bit quickly, leaving a nice drape. The smell of the beer is nice. I smell nice average hop aroma’s. I smell nice American hop aromas, which give the beer nice smells of pineapple, some citrus fruits and pine. It is rather sweet and slightly sour, combined with that nice hoppy bitterness. I also smell a nice toasty malt aroma, giving both sweets and bitters. The balance in the smell is nice. The flavour is nice to. I smell nice strong hop flavours, giving pineapple, some citrus and pine. The toasty malt is a bit stronger in the flavour than in the smell. The taste is a bit richer. Strong bitters, sweets and delicate sours are in good balance. Hop and malt flavours support each other nicely. The body of the beer average. The body is medium and the texture is rather smooth. The carbonation is nice and strong. The finish is a bit dry. But all in all, a good beer.

3.4 Bouteille de 33cl. Couleur ambrée foncée, mousse moyenne, tenue moyenne. Une bière assez houblonnée sur l’ attaque mais qui file sur des notes de plus en plus torréfiées. Pas vilaine mais un peu binaire, carbonnation moyenne. Beery Christmas #22.

3.6 Robe ambrée/brune avec des reflets rouges quand on la met à la lumière. Le nez est houblonné, on a un petit côté agrume et un autre réglisse caramel. En bouche on a une bonne amertume houblonnée et on peut retrouver cet arôme de réglisse présent dans le nez. Légère et facile à boire.

3.1 0,355l bottle shared with wiosna @ home. Beery Christmas #22. Pours clear deep amber with a high head. Aroma is malts with some fruits and dough. Flavor is lightly roasted malts with citrus and hops. Citra hops aren’t quite at home here. Drinkable nevertheless.
