Anchor Steam Beer - brewed for the first time in 1896 - owes its deep amber color, thick, creamy head, and rich, distinctive flavor to a historic brewing process like none other. It is a process that combines deep respect for craft brewing tradition with many decades of evolution to arrive at a unique approach: a blend of pale and caramel malts, fermentation with lager yeast at warmer ale temperatures in shallow open-air fermenters, and gentle carbonation in our cellars through an all-natural process called kräusening.

Bottle. Don’t understand what makes this beer stand out. Tastes like any other premium lager to me. Anyway. It still has a good taste and I would recommend it to anyone who has not drank it before.

08.2018 Aromat słodowy karmelowy, chmiel bardzo delikatny, Jasno bursztynowy kolor przejrzyste z dużą pianą, opadającą. Smak słodowy z melanoidynami oraz karmel, trochę chmielu miętowo ziołowego. Nagazowanie niskie, orzeźwiające, gorzkie na finiszu. Ogólnie całkiem podobne do jakiegoś bursztynowego lagera nic specjalnego, ale dobre piwo z charakterystycznym chmielem

nice offering. some sweet malt in the flavour, and some nice hops, but not as upfront as i would expect. decent flavour, nothing outstading, and overall nice product.

Pours a clear golden/copper with a frothy white head. Aroma of bready malts, some hops. The quality of this beer is mostly in the aftertaste. Light bitterness. This is somewhat Lager-ish, but a bit fruitier and hoppier. Refreshing and easy to drink.

Культовое пиво от пивоварни Анкор. Аромат в основном хмелевой. Пенка быстро падает. Очень приятный янтарный цвет. Во вкусе за основу свою берет солод. Солод с слегка карамельным привкусом. Очень необычно, но когда пьешь это пиво, полость рта как будто слегка замораживается буквально на несколько секунд.Послевкусие с легкой хмелевой горчинкой.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Anchor Steam is the very essence of American microbrews but is now a pretty major brand and no longer from "one of the smallest breweries in the world". Amber coloured with a decent head. Has a nutty full body with a pronounced hoppiness. A bit brown ale-ish - but in a style of it’s own. Is Anchor Steam losing some of it’s character? I find it a bit overrated in general. 2.9
