Appearance is light amber.
Aroma is a wee bit malty.
Initial flavors of caramel malts and some off flavors.
The off flavors really threw me on this one. The combinations of ingredients did not work especially on the palate.

Poured on-tap at the Tap House and served in a shaker pint, the beer is a caramel coloring, with a sparse, filmy head. Nose of nut and honey, with roasted overtones. Flavors are more of the roasted character, with a honey and toast blend to follow. Richly sweet aftertaste, with caramel and honey notes on a smooth body. The finish is slightly dry, but slightly cloying.

growler, WF North Raleigh
a: growler poured into a short pint glass, deep maple stain in color, with a thin white head
s: toasty malt nose with grain and rich nuts, brown sugars, dark breads, hops with crisp grassy notes, after warming awhile some alcohol and spicy/sour (yeast?) aromas pull through, seems very aromatic for the style
m: carbonation on the lower side of the moderate range, seems a little light, with a medium body
t: toasted malts run through the palate with notes of nutmeat - especially pecan and walnut, clean base with toasted notes the dominant flavor, some slight dark sugars on the front end, earthy grass hop notes, the acidity is around moderate and really sticks out in its clean surroundings, finishing dry, earthy, and bitter
o: it’s a meatier california common than most, it’s been awhile since I’ve had an Anchor Steam, but this one seems to be a touch sweeter with much more toasted character, it grew on me after while - started out as a letdown but I came away liking it alright
