Jun 26, 2009 On tap at the Flying Saucer in KC. Pours a crystal clear, lighter golden body with a big, foamy, white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is light and crisp with some sweeter pale wheats, a light fruit, and some grassy, semi-metallic hops. Flavor is sweeter pale wheats, light fruits with a bit of a sourness, and a good amount of grassy hops that linger for a decent amount of time. Dry, light, and refreshing. Overall, a decent summer beer. The light wheat taste goes well with the light amount of grass and sweet flavors. Not bad, I can see myself quaffing a bunch of these at a Royals game.

Jun 25, 2009 Pours clear gold with a tall creamy white head that eventually fades to a thick skim and lasts. Aroma is very wheaty, yellow cake, citrus, limonade and some bready notes. Flavor is lots of grainy wheat, some sweet barley malt, dusty citrus notes, floral notes and cactus. Finish is wheat, cardboard and mineral notes. Palate is light bodied with a large bubbled but soft carbonation. Not bad for being a filtered Wheat Ale, but it is a filtered wheat ale.

Jun 23, 2009 Bottle, Rehills, Newcastle. A clean tasting, soft and citrusy beer, with almost a shandy-esque aroma and taste. Flavours of sherbert lemon, orange, grapefruit and peach. Slight dry taste at the back of the mouth. Great beer for a perfect midsummers evening. Late on, it reminded me of a good quality continental lager....!

Jun 22, 2009 A lightly golden colored beer with no head.A decent wheat taste but almost like a light American macro.May be good to drink after being outside but that’s it.This is my first rating so it might not be all that accurate.

Jun 18, 2009 I was excited to try this when I first found it. A nice summer beer imo. Balanced flavors. Some light malts with the right amount of hops and the right usage of hops. Very drinkable and refreshing. Almost on the sweeter side which makes it.

Jun 15, 2009 Anchor Summer Beer is a slightly hazy light golden beer with a thick, fluffy, white head that has outstanding retention and lacing. It has a fruity wooden aroma (Saaz?) and it smells a little funky. It’s light bodied; smooth and foamy with a crisp finish. It’s a mellow flavor. There’s enough green bitterness to keep me thirsty. There’s a note of lemon rind at the finish. It’s a nice summer beer: not watered down, but simple and refreshing.

Jun 13, 2009 medium gold color with a large head that is foamy with a creamy pillowy top. Aroma is "unique" and yeasty, taste is very malty but a very slight hop bite comes through in the palate, followed by a surprisingly watery finish. The aroma is also pretty funky - almost like a soap or detergent characteristic when it hits the nose. This doesn’t really strike me as a summer or wheat beer, it’s more of a mediocre lager or bohemian pilsener with a weird smell.

Jun 10, 2009 Pours luminous & transparent golden color with enormous white head. Nose is nothing like a wheat beer - instead it has a rather lager-like metallic hop aroma with faint grain in the background. On the palate the hop tang comes through, almost like this is a watery version of a bohemian pils. Light bodied and easy drinking, with not much positive to say.
