Almost trepidatiously I picked up Stille Nacht, mostly in memory of the holiday just past. Although I'm often pleasantly surprised, I can't quite get over my mistrust of Belgian beers.

The beer is very foamy and bubbly, almost to the point of a soft drink. It has the typical Belgian smell, slightly sour, and a little citrusy. The first sip is impressive - sweet citrus, mellow, only the carbonation seems sharp on the tongue. As the beer sits and as the bubbles abate, it becomes a little heavy and sticky. I'd say it needs a salty snack, a nice bowl of pretzels or maybe a sharp cheese. When warmer the beer has more apple-y flavor, which is interesting, luckily it's not excessively sweet, as I've noticed with
other beers.
