Golden State Steam Beer, a heartfelt nod to Anchor Brewing Company, seamlessly blends lager yeast and warmer ale fermentation for a clean, well-balanced brew. The malt imparts a subtle caramel and toasty character, providing a perfect canvas for the hops to shine. Delivering a pleasant bitterness with woody and herbal notes, the beer surprises with a touch of mint, for a refreshingly clean finish. This hybrid creation captures the essence of California steam beer, marrying tradition and innovation in a flavorful homage to brewing craftsmanship.

12 ounce draft pour at the brewery.
L: Fairly clear light amber, small white head fades to a ring.
S: Nose is strong, bright spicy hops, notes of toasted malt.
T: Opens clean and bitter, hop flavor is green and floral, toasted malt, grassy finish, becomes more sharp and grassy as I go.
M: Crisp and fairly light, chalky mouth coat,
O: Not a fan of the sharp grassy flavor that takes over after 6 ounces or so.
