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.

355 ml bottle from Honest Brew. Clear copper colour with small white head which leads to a nice creamy consistent top. Aroma of malts, caramel, grass and something almost resembling a mixed berry compote. Taste is malty, caramel, light berry notes, grass, earth, herb like bitterness. Light to medium bodied, smooth, soft carbonation, dry. Enjoyable.

Finally having this beer before it sinks to the bottom of the ocean floor. It’s malty, funky, sweet, and I can understand they’re going under. Don’t feel too bad, they sold out to Sapporo for $85mil about five years ago.
