Sample at the Tap House Grill in Seattle. This brew pours a clear pale amber color with a medium off-white head that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, herbs and grain. Light-bodied with flavors of herbal hops, toasted malt and a touch of fruit. The finish is mildly bitter with a hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Amber body with thin head that stretches to cover it. A bit fruity with more floral hop character than any common ale/steam beer that I can recollect. Nice easy leafiness and an enjoyable bitter leaf flavor. In fact, to me, this is more reminiscent of an ESB, and a solid, sessionable one at that. Twangy finish that is fairly bitter sour and a bit offkey--perhaps from rye malt.

Nowhere close to Anchor Steam in style. A departure from the common. sharp and vegetal. a lot of floral notes. not very hoppy or malty. thumbs down.
