2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A light golden color with a big frothy white head that has great retention and lacing. Aroma is lighter than expected and is mainly composed of sweet malt and grain nada faint grassy scent. Disappointing. Flavor is light also with a graininess that reminds me more of a pilsner than a wheat beer. There is a slight grassy flavor and you can detect a small amount of wheat and bread flavor in the finish with almost no bitterness. Mouthfeel is soft and medium bodied with a medium carbonation. Was expecting more. With such a nice looking beer, I was hoping for more flavor.

What we have here is a decent summer time beverage. I wouldn’t call the flavors delicately balanced--little bit astringent for me. Drinkable, but I have a preference for the zest and citrus forward summer-time varieties that have become popular. This is not what I would call refreshing.

12 oz bottle served cold (2012 from notes) in a snifter. Pours a clear golden-amber color with a semi-dense off-white head that partially coats the glass but eventually reduces to a thin partial top coat and a lasting ring.
The timid aroma features wheat and hops with some faint malt and citrus in the background. More flavor than aroma. In addition to the components detected by nose, there is a light citrus/lemon quality and a grassy note. A fine, lingering, mildly bitter aftertaste.
M: medium-light body; quite dry, especially in the finish; good, medium+ carbonation.
O: Not a favorite style. This is the weakest beer I’ve had from this beloved brewery. Still, it is good for style, well crafted, very drinkable, and rather refreshing.

Dobre i cytrusowe w aromacie to delikatne piwo. Wygladem przypomina nieco lagera. Brak metnosci ktorej sie spodziewale, Piana za to trwala ale niewielka ale tworzy pierscienie na pincie. Amerykanski chmiel wyczuwa sie nawet dosc mocno. Piwo pasuje na letnie upalne dni.

Golden pour with frothy white head. Great aroma of fresh fruit, lemon, fresh-baked bread, and plenty of floral notes. Damn is that refreshing! Crisp and light taste, biscuity malts, mild citus notes, lemongrass, and a herbal hop that gives it an excellent finish. Great crafted beer and one that I could drink a ton of in the summer (or any other time for that matter). Light and drinkable, but with enough complexity. I am always impressed with what Anchor puts out.

Very clear on the pour. Not a lot of aroma and papery on the palate, if dry. Disappointing.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured two fingers of foamy head on a clear, golden colored body. Lots of bubbles, looks great.
The aroma is nice: honey and clover.
The taste has a moderate, dry bitterness that almost goes towards metallic. It’s tempered by the wheat softness.
The texture is crisp with moderate carbonation.
It’s on the more bitter side for a summer beer, tends towards a German pils bitter taste.

Uploading old ratings that were missing comments. Totally bland. Tastes like seltzer mixed with Anchor Steam.
