This is my first Brewferm Christmas ale, the 1 tin, 9l yield kit, bottled with no added sugar at bottling, July 2020. Promise its not Pepsi. Nice hiss on opening. No head what so ever, yet can see carbonation fine bubbles. Has a dark brown sugar caramel like flavour, a light bitter after taste...

Yes, it's one you'll drink, nothing wrong(as in off flavour or anything) with it, but after 1 glass would move on, just lacking something. If I were to make it again, I'd want to pimp it. Spice, orange peel or something,; dry hop....brewed well enough, no agro, just expecting ... flavour
