Hey guys, I was at a restaurant and I ordered an Anchor Steam because I had never had it before. From what I read Steam beers are ales but generally taste more like a lager. I had heard about Anchor Steam a lot and had the idea in my head that it was just more of a mass produced, popular plain lagery tasting ale...
When I got my beer I was shocked to the point of wondering if they gave me the right thing (it was draft) It was DELICIOUS & light yet incredibly hoppy. It tasted as if it was hopped like an IPA... Maybe not necessarily as much hops as an IPA but the light body made the hops really shine through. Super Citrus, crisp and hoppy.
Is that how you would explain Anchor Steam? I read mixed results in reviews that I saw. Some people said it was kinda bland which is why I questioned whether they gave me the wrong beer or not. Color wise it was very light (didn't look like an IPA)
Sorry, odd question haha.
