330 ml bottle, from Helgø Meny Stadionparken. IBU is 30. Moderately hazy golden colour, large to moderate white head. Aroma of grain and tropical fruits. The flavour has also grainy and fruity notes, with a sharp and medicinal bitterness in the aftertaste.

Pours slighlty hazed blonde. Medium large, stable white creamy head. Scent is very fruity, delivering sweet expectations. Grapefruit comes to mind, as well as candy (hard candy, mlike those necklaces ) with a slight green, herbal, earthy touch giving it a more natural impression than the previous might sound. Taste is medium bitter, very sweet, candy-like fruitytness ( again, the necklaces, grapefruit, ...) medium long to long lasting finish of bitterness. Fairly creamy body. Relatively exhausting (compared to other IPA's) but still very drinkable for a NA, not tóó cloying. Different than other NA's in it's hoppyness, certainly this is a big plus for the beer. All and all, very pleased to have tried this one !

500 ml bottle, batch #1713, from Coop Xtra, Sauda. ABV is 4.5%, IBU 20. Slightly hazy pale golden colour, moderate to low white head. Aroma of coriander and various Christmas spices, including anise or liquorice. Also some citrussy / wheaty notes. Citrussy / wheaty flavour, said spices are there, but in moderate amounts. A nice and unusual Christmas brew, suitable to accompany the season’s fish dishes.

Jet black. Blue grape, blue plum, raisin, ruby port, wood. Sweet-sour grape, plum, dark fudge, some blackberry. Peppery hops, dried fruits, boozy brandy, sherry & wet wood effect. Oily texture, average carbonation. Quite good, bit too young perhaps.

Dark brown, stable head. Caramel, dried banana, red apple, raisin, clove. Sweetish raisin, bitter spices & herbs, caramel malt base. Herbal hops, very spicy, oddly bitter. Syrupy texture. Not bad but lacks some structure and, well, sourness.

General impression: it has lots of spices, but is still well balanced, and manages to cover up the lack of alcohol. In general, the spices battle each other, and they are are christmas-like - at least in combination. So overall, it is impressive that they have managed to create this without proper fermentation and alcohol. But still, it is a bit more on spiecy side like a gløgg, than a Christmas beer.
Bottle from autumn 2020 drunk nov 2020; and another bottke drunk dec 2023 that gave same impression (bf=14.08.24). Cinnemon and coreander seeds are toned down a bit, leaving the stage to ginger, cardamum, and cloves. Interestingly, it had a robust 'infection ring' inside the bottle neck. It does not appear to be infected, so i suspect som spices in the bottle. Besides, there were lots of dregs in the bottle. So they may add some spices dry to the bottles or just before bottling?
