hopIQ found 10 beers that share Rød Jul's malty and sweet character. Rød Jul is red as Rudolph's nose: a lager with a white head and a pleasant basic sweetness. Aroma and taste are shaped by malt and hop nuances and notes of passion fruit and herbs. The beer is generously hopped, with Callista among the varieties, and it is fermented bottom-up. The brewery pairs it with herring and Christmas food.
