Anchor Summer Beer

This is a good beer not great.Pours with a med white head.Aroma is nice and fresh and lemony.Beer is clear and bright yellow/golden.Good on a hot day.

From tap at the brewery. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Bitter and slight grassy aroma. Crisp bitter and subdued malt flavoured. Bitter and slight grassy hoppy finish. Simple and thirstquencing.

A very low rating for a good attempt by the folks at Anchor Brewing Company to make a decent wheat ale. It’s good everything you need in an American Wheat, citris sweetnees, more blandness than the good german or belgian wheats...but I believe this offering gets punished because it’s so different than the flagship Steam Beer..it’s a good lawn mower beer and better than rated here.

Enjoyed from a 12oz bottle in a pub glass. The beer pours a clear straw golden color, with a very long-lasting white head. The aroma gives a hint of lemons, and a very slight touch of malt. The palate is pretty straightforward, giving at first a hint of citrus, then following with a slight malt sweetness. The mouthfeel of the beer is pretty light, as one might expect, and the finish is about neutral. Overall, this style isn’t the most flavorfull or complex, but it is a refreshing summer beer.

Appearance: Pours a vibrant yellow gold. The body is clear with active rising carbonation, and holds a good inch of fluffy, pilowy head. Aroma: Bread crust, light fruitiness. Taste: Dry malt, light fruitiness. Finishes with a moderate level of bitter hops. Mouthfeel: Crisp, medium high carbonation gives my tongue a spicy sensation. Overall: Really nice to watch up against the light, easy summer drinking, and no sour twang some easy going beer like this finishes.

Bottle. Light golden in color, huge head, aromas of wheat, lemon, and spice. Flavor is notes of lemon, corriander and a floral hop note. It is light in body and has a clean, somewhat spicy finish. Very refreshing.

Bottle pours a clear golden body with a tall white head. Aroma of lemon, vague spices, and floral hops. Light bodied with a crisp carbonation. Taste is lemony all the way through, and ends with a lemon zest bitterness. Grainy wheat malt and vague spices are prominent, as well. Not my favorite style, but a decent summer beer.

Sampled as part of a sixer. A really nice wheat ale that is crisp. Not a normal wheat ale that you get that would be of german roots. Very crisp. Well worth a try.
