Bottle. Color similar to urine, but a little darker. Aorma is typical of anchor beers, the same strange malt as the steam beer. Flavor is the same, biscuity / fruity / grainy strange malt. I have trouble describing the flavors in these anchor beers, but they almost always seem a little off to me.

Sep 5, 2008 Golden color with a large bubbly white head on top. Nose is lagery hops but is apparently a wheat beer? Slight lemon aroma. Taste is even more lagery, crisp smooth body and a bit of lemon astringency with a hoppy finish. Decent beer but definitely not a wheat in many ways.

Aug 28, 2008 golden pour with a medium white head. yeast, oranges and slight coriander on the nose. nice thickness with a huge yeasty flavor with some citrus. pretty refreshing overall though.

Aug 27, 2008 From a six pack the cost $9.69 at the North Coast Coop in Arcata, CA this poured a cloudy yellow with a foamy head and light lacing. Nose of light malts. light hops, and very little wheat. Light mouthfeel. Flavor is much the same and there is a light and watered down finish. Not a very good effort by a brewery that usually does better.

Aug 27, 2008 Pour is a hazy light straw colored with a frothy white head. Wheres the wheat? Very bland and a watery mouth-feel taboot.

Aug 26, 2008 12oz from Sam’s, Durham. I bought this with my pal Maurice on a hot day, anticipating a lively, refreshing brew from the reliable Anchor. Sadly, what we got was a disappointingly watery beer that doesn’t even seem to possess many of the traits of a wheat at all, but instead comes across like a mildly funky pale lager. The relatively full mouthfeel is as close as you get, with a very active carbonation masking a lack of personality.
