Humming Along

Imagine my surprise to find the Anchor Steam Humming Ale on tap last night at one of my local watering holes in Sunnyside. First brewed in 2009, Humming Ale is a hoppy pale ale with lots of fruit and citrus, and not quite as carbonated as Anchor Steam or Anchor Liberty. By the way, I have learned that humming is an ancient term, used centuries ago to describe both ales and beers. Although its origins are unclear mystery, it suits this refreshing ale. Kudos to Bar 43 for bringing it in!
