Christmas Ale Update

I know you all remember the post I did on Northeast Ohio Christmas beers. If you forget go here to check it out. Well I added an update to the bottom. Here is the update so you do not need to go through the whole thing again.
Update: My cousin, who has been known to buy Great Lakes Christmas Ale by the case, preferred the Frosted Frog. He agreed the Frosted Frog had a bolder flavor than Great Lakes.
Also, we had one Frosted Frog left from Thanksgiving, and my mother picked up several new bottles from the brewery a week before Christmas. Dad and I poured the old bottle first. Even though it was kept refrigerated we both thought the flavor was not as bold as we remembered and it reminded us of the aged version we previously tried. We followed that up with a fresh bottle and it matched our recollections exactly. Either we somehow got a bad bottle or Frosted Frog ages quickly. I hesitate to use the word deteriorate, but it is clearly not the same beer it was just a month prior. This confirms my suspicion that freshness is extremely important when it comes to Hoppin’ Frog.
