If it has a dry hop, I don't think it will be based on the Anchor recipe and relies on the malt rather than the hops for its character. Chances are, this kit is their own take on steam beer, or the looser definition "California Common" where they just use a steam beer yeast (a lager yeast that works at high temperatures) and do whatever recipe they think will work.

I've had a couple of attempts at my own version of Anchor Steam, so have done quite a bit of research around it. The claim is that they only use 2-row pale malt, crystal/caramel malts (but they don't specify which ones) and Northern brewer hops, but I've been led to believe they also use a little rye.


Have just had another bottle, the hoppy taste is starting to mellow, I am pleased.
