    Christmas Ale has a higher alcohol content and a lighter taste.

    To each their own.

    Picked up a sixer last week. It's alright. Definitely better than the Christmas ale. I still like their amber the best.

    I picked up some St Arnold Christmas ale just before Christmas and it was indeed horribly overrated

    absolutely nothing special, just an above average beer

    I agree! I thought I was the only one who thought it tastes terrible!

    i find it odd that microbreweries in the states have such a hard-on for ales, particularly IPAs. hey, i like them and all, but why not try a crisp pilsner or a solid munich-style lager? sixpoint, up here in brooklyn, and a few others are starting to offer some, but i wonder why there are so few.

    agree...i'd like to see more lagers offered by microbreweries, too.

    i'm not a fan of IPA
