DIR 2018 Advent Beer Review Date: Dec 12, 2018 Beer: Archor Brewing - Our Special Ale Style: Special Ale Source: San Fransisco, California ABV: 6.9% "This is the forty-forth annual 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, as is the hand-drawn tree on the label, but the intent with which we offer it remains the same. Joy and celebration of the newness of life." IMG Our Special Ale The label for this beer is quite festive. The large tree on the front and the parchment style paper really put me in the mood for Christmas. Likewise, the beer inside doesn't disappoint! There have been some sort of peppers added that make it tingle with spiciness. The overall flavor is hard to pin down but it tastes like there are some floral or botanical notes. It's a unique beer that's really fun to drink. - Would I buy it again? I can't wait to try next year's batch! - How much could I drink in one night? A 22oz bomber.
