As the holiday season approaches, beer lovers have something special to look forward to once again – Orbit Beers' limited edition Jolly Saint Nico, a festive Köln-style lager that's set to become your new Christmas companion.
What Makes Jolly Saint Nico Special?
Launched on November 4th, 2024, Jolly Saint Nico is more than just a seasonal beer – it's a carefully crafted celebration of Christmas flavours in a very drinkable way. Born from Orbit Beers' award-winning Nico Lager, this special edition brings a festive twist to the traditional Kölsch-style brew.
A Festive Flavour Profile
A beer that captures the essence of Christmas in every sip. Jolly Saint Nico pours a beautiful golden straw colour and offers:
- Warming winter spices: Nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice
- Gentle citrus notes
- Subtle herbal hop aroma
- A touch of bready maltiness
At 4.8% ABV, it's the perfect strength for holiday celebrations – strong enough to be interesting, but light enough to enjoy throughout the evening.
For the best experience, we recommend serving Jolly Saint Nico in a traditional Kölsch glass, slightly chilled – just cool enough to let those spices shine without overpowering the malt.
Perfect Pairings
Designed specifically to complement your Christmas dinner, Jolly Saint Nico pairs beautifully with:
- Roast turkey
- Pork crackling
- Roasted chestnuts
- Comté cheese
- Apple strudel
