2018 Advent Beer Review | |
Date: Dec 12, 2018 | |
Beer: Archor Brewing - Our Special Ale | |
Style: Special Ale | |
Source: San Fransisco, California | |
ABV: 6.9% | |
"This is the forty-forth annual Our Special Ale from the brewers at | |
Anchor. It is sold only from early November to mid-January. The | |
Ale's recipe is different every year, as is the hand-drawn tree on | |
the label, but the intent with which we offer it remains the same. | |
Joy and celebration of the newness of life." | |
Our Special Ale | |
The label for this beer is quite festive. The large tree on the | |
front and the parchment style paper really put me in the mood for | |
Christmas. Likewise, the beer inside doesn't disappoint! There have | |
been some sort of peppers added that make it tingle with spiciness. | |
The overall flavor is hard to pin down but it tastes like there are | |
some floral or botanical notes. It's a unique beer that's really fun | |
to drink. | |
- Would I buy it again? I can't wait to try next year's batch! | |
- How much could I drink in one night? A 22oz bomber. |
