Orbit Beers has announced that it will release the 2023 version of its Christmas special Kölsch, 4.8% ABV Jolly Saint Nico, on 6th November.
It’s a limited, festive edition of Orbit’s multi-award-winning flagship Köln Lager Nico, with the addition of winter spices. Like Nico, it is now gluten free and vegan.
The Christmas brew is an annual addition to the brewer’s series of White Label beers. These brews explore the innovative, experimental side of brewing, from Hefeweizens and Lentebocks, to seasonal sours and barley wines.
Jolly Saint Nico pours pale golden with a fragrant, herbal hop aroma, lemon citrus, and seasonal clove. Light on the palate, there’s a touch of bready maltiness, an assertive hop character, and warming flavours of nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice.
