Anchor Steam Summer beer

August 13th, 2008 by Casey


Anchor Steam Summer

 

 Picked up a six pack of this at the local MGM.  I am an absolute sucker for Anchor Steam's entire look.  The packaging and label are beautiful, not to mention their signature bottle style.  Poured with a giant head that dissipated after a few sips.  Faint smell of wheat and lemons.  The taste starts with malted wheat and citrus, which is quickly washed away by the carbonation.  It has a very crisp dry finish, with a very slight hop bite.  This works well for a summer beer, as you keep coming back for more and you don't have a heavy taste left in your mouth.  This beer seems best suited to a hot summer evening shared with a couple of friends.

    Enjoy reading about all the beers and beer stories this blog reports on. We are in the planning stages for a new brewery in Northeastern USA called Nor’easter Brewing Company LLC and our business plan is to grow to over 25,000BBL within 5 years.
    The breweries and stories you report on, allow for much encouragement.
