It is sold only from early November to mid-January. The Ale&#8217;s recipe is different every year, but the intent with which we offer it remains the same: joy and celebration of the newness of life. In ancient times trees symbolized the winter solstice when the earth with its seasons appears born anew.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tasting Notes: <\/strong>Founders Brewing\u00c2\u00a0Tulip glass. 2010 has some tastes in common with 2009. It also seems kind of thin and lifeless. There&#8217;s a small hint of some of the things on the nose that I got much stronger in the years that sat longer, but it&#8217;s just barely there. It does have more of the evergreen \/ spruce flavor to it than 2009, but it&#8217;s still not as good as some of the earlier years. The carbonation is steadily improving as we get closer to the present year.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to day ten of\u00c2\u00a0fourteen days of Anchor Christmas\u00c2\u00a0spanning 14 years of the beer.
