blklab2007 (533), Connecticut, USA Apr 16, 2008 bottle poured a light amber in color with a thin head and lighter carbonation. aroma is fairly light with sweet malt, light hops, and bitters. flavor is thin for what anchor usually does but it is a 3.3% brew. lightly malted with residual sweetness and bitters. glad i tried this because the concept is great but it is just too light to be compared to other anchor brews.
PaulHegedus (37), Brampton, Ontario, Canada Aug 27, 2008 Foghorn’s little brother. Draught at the brewery, Aug 2008. Ironic bottle indeed. This has a simple, dry flavour, but simple does not mean bad by any means. There is subtle hops, a bit of fruit. Someone wrote tea, I could see that maybe. A good session beer. I respect the brewery for making this unique, witty little beer. yobdoog (367), Woodridge, New York, USA Aug 10, 2008 Clear light brown yellow. Light bitterness and easy to drink. Smooth and not much flavor. Really interesting how this is made and is well done IMO. 17thfloor (641), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 5, 2008 Pours a nice clear amber with a medium off-white frothy head. Weird funky moldy sour malt aroma with some mild hops. A nice dry bitter flavor, tea like, softly fruity. Toffee finish. Easy drinking for a bitter, avoids all that chewy sweetness. Recycling is good. spikester (407), Salem, Oregon, USA Aug 4, 2008 Amber with strong white head and good amount of lacings. Nice hoppy aroma. A bit light for a bitter it compares well to something like St. Pauli Girl and is a good session choice. The only negative would be a slight soapiness on the palate. You cold drink this stuff all day without any ill effects. Kudos to Anchor for doing something quite special. From a 22 ounce bottle that cost $2.99 USD. jjuf1853 (199), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA Aug 2, 2008 Draft sample offered after the Anchor Brewery tour. Interesting style and concept although I found the flavor and aroma a little uninteresting. Liked the bitterness, but that was about it. Glad I got a chance to try it though.
