Have any of you guys ever had this beer? Apparently it's different every year, and they have been doing it for 35 years. I've never had a bottle of it before, but I am in beer heaven right now. Its extremely smooth with a nice malty core and mildly hoppy finish, with only the slightest touch of bitterness that presents after the beer has left the palate. It has a subtly sweet aroma, and all I can say is yummy! What a great Christmas beer! I'd love to hear your thoughts if you've tried this years or any others, as this is my first. Cheers!

I'm a huge fan of anything Anchor Steam, especially their Christmas ale. So far I've liked it better than last years especially with that touch of sweetness that it has, and if I can I might put one away to try it again next year. If you get a chance, try their Porter and Summerbrew, two more greats from Anchor.
