Anchor Summer Beer

(Bottle). Sweet floral aroma. Light golden, white head. Flavor is very mild, not as tart as a typical wheat. Slight pilsener taste. Not bad, but not great.

Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours clear yellow with white head. Not much aroma here, some citris. Flavor has some slight lemon notes with a bitter after taste that doesn’t compliment this beer. Mouth feel is watery with high carbonation. Overall, not a bad beer. It can quench a thirst.

Golden and pored with a large head. Low carbonation and a medium body.Slightly creamy with an underplayed bitterness.This is a wheat beer that I enjoyed.

Golden color with a large bubbly white head on top. Nose is lagery hops but is apparently a wheat beer? Slight lemon aroma. Taste is even more lagery, crisp smooth body and a bit of lemon astringency with a hoppy finish. Decent beer but definitely not a wheat in many ways.

golden pour with a medium white head. yeast, oranges and slight coriander on the nose. nice thickness with a huge yeasty flavor with some citrus. pretty refreshing overall though.

From a six pack the cost $9.69 at the North Coast Coop in Arcata, CA this poured a cloudy yellow with a foamy head and light lacing. Nose of light malts. light hops, and very little wheat. Light mouthfeel. Flavor is much the same and there is a light and watered down finish. Not a very good effort by a brewery that usually does better.

Pour is a hazy light straw colored with a frothy white head. Wheres the wheat? Very bland and a watery mouth-feel taboot.

12oz from Sam’s, Durham. I bought this with my pal Maurice on a hot day, anticipating a lively, refreshing brew from the reliable Anchor. Sadly, what we got was a disappointingly watery beer that doesn’t even seem to possess many of the traits of a wheat at all, but instead comes across like a mildly funky pale lager. The relatively full mouthfeel is as close as you get, with a very active carbonation masking a lack of personality.
