hopIQ found 10 beers with the same spicy and malty character as Golden Naked Christmas Ale. A Nordic Christmas ale despite its English name, which refers to the golden-toasted naked oats in the grist. Pale ale, pilsner, caramel, oat and wheat malt are joined by glucose syrup and prune juice, and the beer is spiced with freshly grated orange peel, cinnamon sticks and fennel seed; two yeasts carry out a first and a second fermentation. Aroma: biscuit-like malt with orange, cinnamon, liquorice and stone fruit over caramel and a hint of citrus from the hops. The palate is round and creamy, fairly full, with a rounded bitter finish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
