Mikkeller A Red & White Christmas
This Winter Seasonal Beer is a creative hybrid bridging a Belgian-style Witbier and a robust Red Ale. The sensory profile is defined by a bold interplay of American hops and bitter orange peel, resting on a foundation of soft wheat and rich caramel malts. Distinctive notes of cinnamon and cardamom weave through the aroma, complementing the tropical fruit character provided by the hops. At 8% ABV, it delivers a smooth, integrated warmth that supports its spicy yeast esters. The finish is well-balanced, pairing a medium hop bitterness with a pleasant dryness that highlights the citrus and spice components.
Appearance. Deep amber to reddish-copper (14–22 SRM). Displays a moderate haze consistent with its wheat base, topped by a dense, persistent off-white head with excellent lacing.
Aroma. High intensity featuring a complex blend of bready wheat and sweet caramel malt. Prominent notes of bitter orange peel and tropical fruit hops are layered with festive spices, specifically cinnamon and cardamom, alongside spicy Belgian yeast esters.
Taste. Initial impression is moderately sweet with rich caramel and toasted bread flavors. Mid-palate introduces vibrant citrus and tropical hop flavors balanced by a firm hop bitterness and the spicy bite of cardamom and cinnamon. The finish is moderately dry with lingering orange peel and resinous hop character.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a subtle creamy texture from the wheat. Carbonation is moderate to moderately high, providing a lively lift. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present, without any harshness.
