Dec. 22 - Faxe

Well, not appointed to the Danish court, but it appears Faxe is a truly Danish beer.  Thor in his winged helmet glares out from the can, maybe wondering why he's attached to a lager instead of mead or ale.

Still transparent, bubbly, quickly diminishing head, perhaps a darker shade of gold, though.  Thin, beery smell, something kind of floral poking around.  It's a bit sour at first but quickly descends into bitterness, more like a "proper" beer.  Something about it is tough, a mouthful of flavor, but not exactly unpleasant.  It has some rustic quality, a beer that you might be drinking around a bonfire on a snowy camping trip.  Still waiting for one more black beer, though.
