Anchor Steam Beer

Anchor steam beer is a great refreshing summer beer, but doesn’t cut corners on flavor either. Light orange with a smallish head, citrussy flavor. good to enjoy on a summer’s evening

Served fresh on draught at the Brewery, this beer has none of the unpleasant bitterness that I find in imported bottles here in Toronto. A nice hoppy ale. Someone mentioned grassiness, and I agree. This is a workers session ale.

Pours a dark shade of amber with a medium, foamy, white head. Tastes of malt, caramel, with noticeable but very balanced presence of hops. Very light body and drinkable. Good beer.

Light copper color, fading white head turns into just white film on top. No carbonation in the glass. Even malt and hop aroma that is somewhat floral. Nothing unusual to the aroma. The palate tends to the watery side. Bitter flavor dominates the tongue. There is an amount of malt in the beer but mainly its the hops that makes a biting IPA type Ale. Just an average ale, perhpas this beer’s reputation was forged before the proliferation of craft beer in America.

The ultimate lager beer. It really doesn’t get any better than this. Enormous white head pouring with a dark orange color. Not too clear in the glass but certainly not cloudy. The hops are powerful for a lager- could be a pale ale. Overall the body is rich but not filling like an IPA- very smooth and wickedly light. Aftertaste is dry but fairly neutral. I really think that this is one of the great American brews and will recommend again and again. Keep it up guys!
