Pours a burnt red color with a good sized white head.
Aromas are fruit, citrus and just a hint of alcohol.
Very nice creamy mouth feel. That's the way an ale should be in my opinion.
Very fruity flavor with a bitterness from the hops and the alcohol. It is a sparkling kind of feeling after a couple of sips that make you want more.
I just find the alcohol taste a little to strong for me. I've had stronger brews that didn't have as much alcohol after taste as this one.
All in all still quite good although the folks at CAMRA probably wouldn't agree with me.

Christoffel Dry Hopped Nobel
Very cloudy pale orange color with a thick white clumpy head that lasts and lasts.
Aroma is citrus, some berries and earth with a bit of sourness.
Very rich creamy mouth feel.
Instant grapefruit hit followed by some earthiness and a hint of banana and some orange pith bitterness. As it warms it gains in complexity. The grapefruit is still there but now I'm getting some more earth and a kind of clover honey aftertaste. The finish is a definite hop dryness that just begs for more.
Excellent brew this.
