Holiday Beer Report: Anchor Christmas Ale 2008

##[Christmas Ale 2008][1]

Anchor Brewing ? N/A

Anchor Steam Christmas Ale 2008A true winter warmer. Anchor has been brewing their Christmas Ale since 1975. While not a top-ten contender (for me), it is definitely an enjoyable beverage. It pours a nice dark brown color with thick, brownish head. The first thing you’ll notice is it’s strong spiced aroma. Hints of fruits and spices mixed together with a malty goodness and tangy finish, this is surely a good holiday beer. I’d even go so far as to say it’s the epitome of Christmas ales.

It’s like Christmas, in a bottle.
