| Description: | To commemorate an important milestone in Anchor Brewing's long history, a special ale seemed appropriate. Having found and experimented with a very rare and unusual hop variety called Nelson Sauvin, they knew that its unique character would impart a wonderful flavor and aroma to a pale ale brewed especially for the occasion: Humming Ale. This hazy golden, medium body beer has hints of orange peel and pine. The taste is floral, orange peel, and grapefruit rind. It finishes with a dry, grapefruit quality. Anchor's Humming Ale was brewed in San Francisco on August 13, 2009, 113 years after their founding and thirty years to the day since the first brew in their new brewhouse. Humming is an ancient term, used centuries ago to describe both ales and beers. Although its origins are shrouded in mystery, it seemed the perfect fit for a new product from an established company celebrating the 30th anniversary of the first brew in their "new" brewery. From the very day of that first brew they were humming! | |
