Drink of the Week: 2013 Anchor Christmas Ale
Holiday beers always make
us happy to welcome winter’s chill, especially today’s Drink of the Week—the
2013 Anchor Christmas Ale. The 39th release of the special holiday
brew, each year’s recipe is different from the last, and while the brewery
keeps mum about the different formulas, this year’s bottle is approachable and
easy-drinking, with fresh fruit flavors of apples and plums followed by subtle
caramel malts and a wave of hop zinginess on the finish. A cheery welcome to
the holiday season, indeed. anchorbrewing.com for distribution info
