Day 12: Anchor Christmas 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anchor Label<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neck Label Text:\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong>This is the thirty-eighth “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, 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

Tasting Notes: <\/strong>Founders Brewing\u00c2\u00a0Tulip glass. 2012 tastes pretty much like I expect a current version of Anchor Christmas to taste. There’s not much remarkable about this one compared to the standard of Anchor Christmas that I have in my head. It’s funny because Anchor recently posted about aging the annual brew on its Twitter feed, Ask Bob Brewer Aging Anchor Christmas Ale<\/a>. He recommends that the first three years out are good, the next two, not bad and then anything past is unremarkable and not good. I’d say that my experience has varied a bit from that but it’s pretty close. Two to go!<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n
