My favorites in terms of quality are SS Nut Brown, SS Winter Welcome. not impressed With SN Celebration (a little to hoppy for my preferences, I like a roasty, Malty beer) and Molson Canadian is well..... what Can I say but what I already did.

I've been putting up Christmas Ales for a couple years now. I've found that Sierra Nevada's Celebration Ale tastes even better after 1 year. I've tried them side by side (this years vs last years) and the flavors are more pronounced after a year. Something to try if you're interested.

its definately different after a year, the hops mellow out a bit and some sweetness comes through but I gotta say that I love that big hop blast from a fresh SNCA.

I did a 4 year vertical a few weeks ago I thought fresh was the best with 2002 a close second. 2001 was ok but over the hill and I poured the 2000 out after a small taste very old stale and oxidized.
