2015 Advent Day 25

This year there is an Encore.

Saugatuck Brewing Company
Gingerbread Cookie Ale




Poured golden with an aggressive, short lived head.

I don't know how much my cold is interfering, but I didn't find any gingerbread flavour here at all, just a fairly highly carbonated brown ale.  Not too hoppy as it turns out.  I was on guard as the included glass seemed to be in the IPA style.

I really enjoyed the calendar overall this year with only a few selections not to my liking.  And I received another calendar for Christmas so I can enjoy these beers one more time.

My disappointment is with the number of beers that were Brewed exclusively for the calendar.  When I find one I really like, I would like to think I can go and buy it at a specialty store later.  I think there are enough beers out there that they shouldn't need to invent unique beers for the calendar.  Please fill it with regularly Brewer beers next year.
