Alright, nerds. Wondering what to expect from Desert Island Dissident? Like we said, we're still playing by our own rules.

The steam beer style that has been synonymous with Anchor Steam for decades had also been in the back of Dean's mind for just as long. We took that traditional idea of fermenting lager yeast at a higher ale temperature, but added the Ale Asylum signature of a heavy dose of hops. We also thought it best to lighten up the color a degree or two in order to better showcase all of those hops.

The result is something with a softer mouthfeel than you'd find in a West Coast IPA but too much fruity hop character to categorize as a pilsner, even for us. But boy, is it delicious. Lightly hazy in the glass. Crisp and balanced on the palate. Let's split the difference and call it a Steam IPA.

We're very happy with how our first new recipe in four years turned out, and you will be too. Come have a pint on release day THIS SATURDAY during Great Taste Ticket Sales weekend at Karben4 Brewing
