To me its a average beer, I go to a couple places and 1 place carries it. Out of a 100 beers I'd probably buy it again in the summer, maybe this spring when it gets warmer...
Does anyone love or despise Anchor Steam?

I "grew up" with Anchor Steam in the Bay Area. it seemed like it was a staple just about everywhere out there. I used to drink it quite a bit and still like it a lot. Now you got me craving it so I must go to the store and find some....I hate this place.....

i enjoy it for what it is
it's got great drinkability that just about anyone can enjoy - enough flavor to be better than BMC but not so much that it turns a lot of people off
got a CC that I'm about to bottle that I look forward to sharing with my BMC friends

I like it, good lawn mowing beer. I do like the porter, and the liberty ale better.

It's tasted kind of old every time I've ever had it. I haven't been impressed, but would try it fresh if I was in the bay area.

When it's good, it's pretty dang good. Take it on its own terms.
Enjoy the effervescent bubbling action...it's just about the most carbonated American beer I can think of. Awesome with thick-cut potato chips, BTW.
When it's bad, yuck.
I've decided only to drink it when a) I know exactly how old it is or b) I'm in California.
One sixer off the shelf in Michigan tasted like wet cardboard.
