Brewed By / In: Anchor Brewing Company / San Francisco, CA
Best Served In: Stein, Pilsner, Pint glasses
ABV: 4.9%
Characteristics: Pours a deep amber with faint bready aroma exuding from the glass. Poor head yet playfully effervescent (a result of true steam brewing). Although bubbly, the flavor underwhelms the palate. A little bitterness but nothing really complex to appreciate, finishes a little flat.
Food-pairing: Coconut-breaded shrimp
Overall: 7.0 - the forefront of flavor is short-lived but allows to be sessioned; I finished before I realized it. Although I appreciate the story of steam beers and Anchor's ability to brew the "California Common," I was not a huge fan of the overall flavor. I will say, anyone who is beginning their quest into craft beer drinking, this is a fantastic segue from the mass-produced brews. Slainte!
