Anchor Summer Beer

I didn’t think much of this one at first but as I whittled my way through the 6er; it’s grown on me. It could stand to have some more flavor but overall it’s a nice light crisp summertime brew. It is too expensive though. It’s not worth the $8.49 I paid. For that reason alone, I won’t drink it again. There are better beers for the same $.

Bottled, from Walt’s, Homewood, IL Pours a bright, straw color with no haze. Big head with good lacing. Taste is tangy, a bit tart. Nice hop bill tends to the West Coast stuff, but more peppery and citrusy than bitter (Cascade?). Bitterness only appears in aftertaste. A well-tuned western American wheat beer.

Pale golden colour with average white head. Grassy nose with hints of spices. Flavor is slightly maltet with hints of hops in the finish. Palate is thin.

Bottle poured yellow with a thick white head and good lacing. Aroma was grassy and light. Flavor of mild hopps with a bitter finish. This would be a good summer beer hence the name.

Pours clear yellow with well lacing white head that lasts, but is clumpy and not particulary beautiful. Nose is very minimal wheat. Flavor is wheat at the beginning going to citrus and very very mild hops at the end. Watery, slightly soapy mouthfeel. Neh.

Rerate Still a decent summer refresher. Not much different this time around Original 2.9. Picked up at Whip-in Liquors in Austin, Tx. Light golden pour, thin light white head. Faint, grassy aroma, a little bit of wort. Pleasant wheaty taste, a little bit of straw notes and some underlying honey sweetness. Decent mouthfeel. Not one of Anchor’s better offerings, but still a pleasant diversion.

Pale gold color, with medium head. Aroma of malt, hopcit, slight honey. Tastes slightly wheaty and slightly pilsenery, with a fairly crisp finish. Not bad.

Decent American wheat beer. Has somewhat of a fruity taste to it, along with a citric hoppiness and a wheaty twang. Not very yeasty, and the brew has a slight haze to it.
