Our annual Christmas Ale is a subtly spiced and sumptuously smooth winter warmer. This year's brew marks the 44th annual release of this Anchor holiday tradition. Our 2018 Christmas Ale has varying specialty malts, lending rich flavors of brûléed sugars, holiday spices and freshly baked banana bread with a velvety finish. The aromatics are quintessential for the holiday season: nutty candied yams and resinous pine. It pours a nice mahogany brown color with a fluffy, tan head.
