Advent Beer Calendar 2006: Day 10: Père Noël
Today’s pick is Père Noël from Brouwerij De Ranke in Belgium. There’s not much on their website, but I found this description on Liquid Solutions:
Cloudy and light orange in color with a big persistent head. Spicy, grassy aroma. Sweet malt flavor with some peppery spiciness. Finishes with a fruity, citricy flavor. It has a great hop profile especially for a Belgian. This is one tasty Belgian beer, well worth the price.
Get a load of that packaging, too. Pre-wrapped to be put under the tree!
BeerAdvocate scores it at 87/100, with 92% of reviews approving. Many reviews mention nice fruit flavors and a (very) dry finish.
