Merry Christmas

Yesterday was the 14'th of December, so lets go with that day's ale today.
A blonde top-fermented ale from Verhaeghe. The Barbe Nöel.

The beer pours a bright blonde yellow, leaving a white head and plenty fizziness, all lasting a great while.

The ale smells lightly of malts and plenty of citra. The ale is a Belgian blonde, but it has distinct flowery notes that reminds you more of a lightly-hopped IPA.

The ale tastes just like it looks and smells too. Very fizzy, refreshing and a heavily hopped blonde Belgian.
The ale if very flowery, tasting plenty of various sorts of citra without it tasting too bitter.
A comfortable and lovely experience, but doesn't really give off the impression that it's a Christmas ale. 
If you find one, save it for summer where it'll undoubtedly be even better.
It's also light enough for that, being only 7.2% VOL.

Merry Christmas
