COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
To commemorate an important milestone in Anchor Brewing’s long history, a special ale seemed appropriate. Having found and experimented with a very rare and unusual hop variety called Nelson Sauvin, we knew that its unique character would impart a wonderful flavor and aroma to a pale ale brewed especially for the occasion: Humming Ale.

Despite the label shown, I had this in a bottle, golden body, lacy white head, aroma of sweet malts and spicy hops, refreshing ale with a nice rigid bitter backbone, no hop flavor to speak of aside from a mild spice, malt forward ale, refreshing and straight to the point

Were all of Anchor’s beers like this and Old Foghorn I would be a huge fan! Very light floral nose that finds its way into the taste. Lemons, crackers, and a curious amount of fresh apple backed by a spritzy carbonation. A light refreshing ale that begs for a can so it will be at home on the beach.

Bottle@home after removal of dandelions. Two finger foam. Golden clear with plenty of bubbels. Floral green grassy notes. Fine to intense dandelion-like bitterness. Very Dry finish. Splendid brew.

Good frothy head, amber clear colour. Nice taste from first sip. Aroma was malty with a bite. Aftertaste a little bitter. Like the label. Manly label, manly beer.

Jamedra (28) - CZECH REPUBLIC - MAY 3, 2013
Láhev 355 ml. Po nalití je cítit aroma chmele, citrusů a sladu. Pěna je středně vysoká, bílá, krémová a dlouhotrvající s jemnými bublinkami, vytváří masivní kroužky. Pivo samotné je zlaté barvy lehce zbarvené do mědi. Chuťově je pivo velice příjemné sladší připomínající lemongrass, dotažené slabší hořkostí, pivo je také velmi příjemné na rtech. Je dobře pitelné a osvěžující a za horkých dní určitě nezklame.

Lore (426) - Budapest, HUNGARY - APR 20, 2013
slightly hazy golden colour; massive, long lasting off-white head; aroma of hop, honey and some strange salty-sourish thing (maybe sour cabbage?); taste is dominated by long lasting hoppy bitterness, though some honey can also be felt.

A hazy golen pour with an off-white head. Taste is quite sweet and fruity...caramel, grass, pine and citrus. Medium bitter finish. Okay beer.

Gutifa (98) - Bad Wurzach, GERMANY - APR 6, 2013
Golden clear with a good white head, good retention. In nose you can really smell the hops with some honey, mango and cereal. In mouth in citrus and herbal and it ends with some alcohol and cereal. Not an ordinary APA but it’s really good and refreshing.
