Anchor Summer Beer

12 oz. bottle Aroma: Perhaps the most interesting part of this beer, it was light cereal with lemongrass and other citrus. Moderately hoppy with an odd scent of rubber band underneath everything. Appearance: Light golden in color with not much of a head. Flavor: Much like the scent suggested it was somewhat thin and reminded me a lot of many White beers I have had with that light cereal malt taste overpowering the lemon. Palate: Somewhat more bitter at the finish than I expected given the scent and taste. Overall: Normally I would say that Anchor Brewing Company is one that I find I enjoy quite a bit even though it is not considered by most to be quite top notch brew. This is one where I understand where they were going with it but there is plenty of room for added complexity. Not terrible by any stretch but not all that interesting either.

Somewhat hazy golden-orange, with a nice thick white head. Wheat aroma, with suprisingly little citrus or fruity aroma. Very light, with not a lot of malted wheat flavor. Has a nice level of hops, but not a lot of flavor. Good finish, with a solid mouthfeel.

12 oz bottle. Deep golden colour, thick lasting white head. Very faint wheaty aroma, a bit of apple and pear. Mouthfeel is very thin, slightly sweet pale and wheat malts, a hint of fruity apple flavour. Low hopping and some light breadiness going in to the finish. Even a bit of banana. Would be better with a fuller body, but I’ve had worse.

wow thats low alcohol. well it does have taste to it and its not all watered down like most american wheat beers. a little crispy and fresh, citrus and lemon zest. looked like dirty urine with a sexy head a little spice not that bad... better than a 6 of carona for the beach ill tell you that anyday

A pretty light American wheat designed for the summer. Color wasn’t impressive, nor was the head. The aroma was somewhat lemon-like with the wheat hayish type aroma. The mouthfeel was pretty light, but the flavor balanced and refreshing. Good summer activity beer that I enjoyed while playing volleyball.

The aroma is really pleasant, not quite what I think aobut in a wheat beer, but grassy, somewhat fruity, color is very clear, flavor is not great, kind of flat and a little too bitter, no hint of juniper in this one.

Bottle. Downgraded from June 2006. This year this beer did not strike me as special in any particular way. As a matter of fact, I agree with the site in-general that this is a below-average American Wheat. This year I found it fizzy instead of creamy; bland instead of flavorful; lacked nuance or character. Apple fell far from the tree.

The best way to describe this beer is Budweiser meets Sam Adams Summertime. Total waste of time.
