Style: Scotch Ale
The basic inspiration for Bell’s Christmas Ale was to create a sessionable holiday beer. In contrast to many other seasonals, Christmas Ale doesn’t contain any spices: all of the dry, toasted notes & subtle toffee flavors come from the 100% Michigan-grown barley, while a blend of hops from Michigan & the Pacific Northwest lend earthy, herbal aromas. It stands as smooth, highly drinkable beer intended to complement holiday menus, not overshadow them.
