"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. |
