Only three steam beers are rumored to be brewed in Oregon. Ive had two of them, and while Lucky Labs effort isnt bad, it bears little resemblance to the style and cant compare to Standing Stones version in Ashland or the venerable Anchor Steam.
Anchors Away is darker than I might have anticipated. It is dense russet-cinnamon and not abundantly clear. At 48 IBUs, the bitterness slightly exceeds style guidelines. This tends to obscure the caramel elements trying to emerge from the malts. In fact, the hops are aggressive and the dry, refreshing crispness of the style never takes hold. The taste even borders on metallic.
Anchors Away may be thought of as a standard, stock-in-trade red ale, but the benefits of bottom fermenting yeast working in shallow basins at warm temperatures do not emerge.
