Dageraad Anno is the festive golden ale you’ve been searching for.

Dageraad Anno, $11

Most holiday beers are either the colour of molasses or they′re really dark, which makes this offering from Burnaby’s-answer-to-Flandres so appealing. It’s a golden ale, but it’s brewed with Indian coriander and pears so it’s still plenty festive. And at 8.5 percent it’s a good candidate for some cellar time as well.anno-cmyk
