kujo9 (1077), North Ridgeville, Ohio, USA Aug 6, 2005 12 oz bottle: Light gold w/ a short lived white head. Thin, sporadic lacing around the top of the beer. Clean, wheat malt aroma w/ a nice grainy malt profile. No hops and no fruitiness... Pretty clean aroma. Flavor is well balanced w/ wheat malt flavor. A bit of grainy flavor as well which starts a bit sweet, but finishes a bit on the semi dry side and very crisp flavor. Clean of fruitiness and flaws. Highly carbonated, carbonated, dry m/f...prickly. Not a bad wheat at all. Very clean and a great lawnmower beer. DYCSoccer17 (2187), Davis, California, USA Jul 31, 2005 Bottle. Spicy, peppery adjunct-like aroma/ I don’t really smell many wheat characteristics. Mildly sweet aroma. Transparent golden color with a fluffy white head. Starts somewhat sour and astringent with lemony hints. A bit of metallic flavor in the middle. Finishes malty and milky in a way. Grassy sweet flavors throughout. This is an easy-drinking summer beer, but doesn’t really have as much wheat as I expected. A bit disappointing, yet drinkable. Pailhead (2572), Allen Park, Michigan, USA Jul 26, 2005 Bottle: Aroma is grassy with a hint of flowery hops. Pours a transparent gold with a small white head. Looks more like a pilsner than a wheat beer. Very light malt up front with a lightly grassy and flowery hopped finish. Only the slightest hint of spice. Fizzy mouthfeel. A pretty weak attempt at a wheat beer. OhioDad (2491), Hilliard, Ohio, USA Jul 22, 2005 Updated: Jul 23, 200512 oz bottle - Pours golden with a short white head. Aroma is of light citrus and some yeast. Flavor is nothing overwhelming. Light wheat, citrus, yeast. Not a lot. On the palate this is light and a nice summer ale. Refreshing and crisp. dornoy (679), Lyngby, Denmark Jul 14, 2005 Short white head on a gold body. Fruity and wheaty, good as a summer drink, very drinkable and refreshing. I am glad I tested it. tennisjoel (931), Shakopee, Minnesota, USA Jul 8, 2005 Wheaty and lemony flavors dominate this beer. It is okay, but definitely not up to Anchor’s usual standards. Very little head on this beer. The flavor just doesn’t do it for me. Very average as far as summer beers go. dwyerpg (2519), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Jul 8, 2005 Smell is wheay funkiness. Head is nothingness and dry. Why make wheat beers why? And why do I buy them - just to rate them I guess. waeltzy (53), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 8, 2005 Draft. Light crisp appearance without no clouds. Don’t let the light appearance fool you. I like this beer. Nose was refreshing quenching citrus and pine floral notes. Some grainy bread yeast. Overall it sort of let me down as it didnt hit me with the punch of wheat and citrus a real good summer ale delivers.
