Anchor Humming Ale

From the Anchor Steam Web Site:


Humming is an ancient term, used centuries ago to describe both ales and beers. Although its origins are shrouded in mystery, it suits this bold hoppy ale, which we have created to celebrate the anniversary of our first brew...


Sometimes I think the beer companies just make this shit up!


Nice carbonation, pours a clear, golden color with a tall frothy head. The first thing that I noticed was the distinct hoppiness, with a floral-citrus accent. This beer is offered in the fall, but tastes to me like a summer beer (which is apropos since it is kind of warm today). I'd classify Humming as a pale ale. Very cool and refreshing with the peppery stew that I'm eating with it.
