3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20Copper coloured and clear with a medium head and body. Also medium bitterness. A bit smoky in the beginning with a sweet smell. Dry with balanced hops which could be more intensive.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Appearance: Dark amber with a strong beige head that settles down to about 5mm and lingers for the whole glass. A small amount of thin lacing down the glass.
Aroma: The first thing that came to mind was pineapples and rockmelon, but this was followed by some malt and graininess.
Taste: Initially, I actually could taste pears, but this disappeared after a few sips. The rest of it was a bit citrusy (grapefruit & lemon rather than orange) and a bit sharp. Some wholemeal bread and black pepper in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Medium carbonation, medium body. A little sharp and ’zingy’ on the middle of the tongue, but not in a bad way. Finish was a bit dry.
Drinkability: Well this was my first California Common, and I wasn’t really sure what to expect. Overall, I think that it is a nice drop, one that would go with a lot of different styles of cuisine, but I’m not sure if I would buy it to savour on its own merits.

San Francisco’s famous Anchor Steam®, the classic of American brewing tradition since 1896, is virtually handmade, with an exceptional respect for the ancient art of brewing. The deep amber color, thick creamy head, and rich flavor all testify to our traditional brewing methods.

Cerveja equilibrada, ótimo drikability, destaque para sabores maltados, poderia ter um corpo mais intenso, mas mesmo assim é uma bela cerveja.

Bottle. Pours a clear copper with minimal white head. Settles quickly with no lacing. Aroma is malty, bready, slight caramel/toffee. Flavor is mellow, bread/dough, malt, bread in a bottle. Slight fruitiness and rather mild throughout. Flavor leaves much to be desired and is much milder than I recall. Moderate carbonation, light body, and crisp texture. A mediocre beer.

Amber colored beer with a thin off white head. Light grainy nose with hints of fruit. Caramel sweetness with biscuit, light toast, apple and some berry fruitiness in the flavor with a nice bitter hop burn in the finish. Always a good beer and one of the granddaddys that still holds up after all these years.
