Anchor Summer Beer

Eggy foam? Maybe not, but it was a ok wheat beer. Kind of one note and a little bland for their beers.

Bottle at beerbistro. Golden yellow body, small white head. Sweet honey and pale malt in the aroma. (6+) Similar flavour with notes of sweet honey, light toasty malt notes. Hing of ginger is likely in my head. Average palate. Accomplishes what it sets out to do nicely, but that doesn’t change the fact that it is a bit ho-hum mild.

Bottle. Pours clear yellow with white head and good lacing. The aroma is extremely grainy, with some hay and zest notes. The flavor is much the same, but heavy on the hay. Some fruit esters come out as it warms, but nothing particularly interesting.

On tap at Sacramento Sports and Brew Fest. I finally found an Anchor beer that I don’t like and suprisingly...it’s an American Wheat. Surprise, surprise. An aroma of tortilla corn chips. Literally. Like taking a big whiff of a freshly opened bag of corn tortilla chips. Underneath that blast, was some wet hay-like aroma trying to get out. Appearance was a bright golden hue, nice head. Flavor was BORING. Almost like chewing on paper, it had this unpleasant something that I can’t put my finger on. I couldn’t even finish my beer with this one. Ugh. No thanks.

Not like any wheat that I’ve ever had, I actually could not have told you that it was a wheat beer while I was drinking it. Aroma is bready, but doesn’t offer much, golden in color with a firm dense head. flavor is remarkably dry and addictingly so. Quite enjoyed the dry tart flavor. palate is light and would prove to be good for the summer time. quite an enjoyable brew despite low ratings.

Pours a clear, sparkling golden color with a white average, rocky head; longevity is fair and lacing is sporatic. Nose is grainy, wheaty and fairly dull. Flavor isn’t much better; lots of somewhat sweet wheat bread with a hint of citrus and light grassy hop notes bringing moderately low bitterness. Palate is light, almost fizzy, and crisp with a dryness to it. Finishes quickly with with dry bread notes and a light hop bitterness. A fairly unimpressive wheat/summer ale with minimal character and not all that refreshing. Not one this breweries best offerings.

Poured a light golden color with a decent size white head that lasted thru the whole glass. Wheat and malt in the aroma with a hint of citrus. Taste was malt with some light hop. It was OK.

Bottle. Pours a golden color. Light, wheat aroma, with a hint of citrus and banana. Flavor is sweet, with a wheat flavor. Mild hop flavor. Would be really good on a hot day.
