Stolen from their website: Anchor Steam® Beer derives its unusual name from the 19th century when “steam” was a nickname for beer brewed on the West Coast of America under primitive conditions and without ice. While the origin of the name remains shrouded in mystery, it likely relates to the original practice of fermenting the beer on San Francisco’s rooftops in a cool climate. In lieu of ice, the foggy night air naturally cooled the fermenting beer, creating steam off the warm open pans. Once a nickname for any West Coast beer brewed under these conditions, today the name “steam” is a trademark of Anchor Brewing and applies only to the singular process and taste of our flagship brand - San Francisco’s original Anchor Steam® Beer. The classic of American brewing tradition since 1896.
It looks deeply amber with a nice foam top. The bubbles constantly coming to the top.
The aroma is light, hoppy with some grape undertones.
It has a nice strong hoppy and malty start, with the hops fading away in the middle and leaving you with just a light lingering maltiness.
It feels clean and refrecshing in the mouth.
Overall it is a nice refreshing beer with a unique taste.
