This beer is from San Francisco and its name comes from "the 19th century when “steam” was a nickname for beer brewed on the West Coast of America under primitive conditions and without ice. While the origin of the name remains shrouded in mystery, it likely relates to the original practice of fermenting the beer on San Francisco’s rooftops in a cool climate. In lieu of ice, the foggy night air naturally cooled the fermenting beer, creating steam off the warm open pans." It is one of the smallest and most traditional breweries in the world. The brewery is unique for its brewing process, which has evolved over many decades. This beer is 4.9% ABV.
Overall average rating: 6.3/10
The appearance is a translucent goldeny orange color with a white carbonated head. We smell wheat, citrus hop (cascade?), and barley, as well as another unidentifiable sweet aroma. The taste is lightly citrus and sweet with a filtered hefeweizen-y wheat flavor.
Shawn- I find this beer to be drinkable, although not outstandingly remarkable. I rated it as high as I did because of the absolutely unique way it is brewed, 7/10.
Angela- It is a good sessionable beer, 6/10.
Chris- It is a good summertime/lawnmower beer. I would rate it higher if it was more flavor forward, 6/10.
