750 ml bottle, from BilkaToGo, Skalborg. ABV is 5.0%. Clear pink to red colour, huge off-white head. Aroma of artificial "red fruits" candy. Sweet flavour, artificial "red fruits" galore, some malts and hops in the background. Waste of money.

1152 Jenlain Biere de Noel France Biere de Garde 3.5

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

June 2013: Shared 750 ml green corked "champagne" bottle, from Voldby Købmandsgaard. Reddish brown colour, moderate off-white head. Moderate but nice aroma, malts, herbal hops and a hint of caramel. Harmonious flavour, not very sweet, herbal hops, highly drinkable. Better suited to accompany Christmas dinner than its sweeter Belgian counterparts.
