- Tasting Notes
- One of the tastiest single hop beers in existence, balanced beautifully with the malt
If you're a fan of Anchor Steam Beer, you will absolutely love this recipe, which most of my buddies said was hands down better than Anchor. This is one of those beers where the keg seems to kick way before I expected. And it's relatively easy.
