argo0 (9034) - Washington DC, USA - MAY 3, 2002
Faint sweet aroma, clean wheat flavor. It’s nothing special, even a trifle light, but it’s a good easy beer that’d taste great on a hot summer day.

hopdog (6943) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 22, 2004
UPDATED: DEC 25, 2004 On tap. Poured a light yellow with a white head. Subtle aromas and tastes of wheat, fruits and lemons. Thinner body. Nothing special about this one.

Cletus (6025) - Connecticut, USA - NOV 24, 2007
Pours golden and clear with a fizzy head. Smells of caramel, some wheat, hints of underlying sweetness. Tastes crisp and dry with just a hints of underlying sweetness but otherwise not much else to speak of. Mouthfeel is thin with a finish that is crisp. Inoffensive and bland compared to just about all their other offerings.

Cornfield (5239) - Oak Forest, Illinois, USA - DEC 13, 2005
I can see why Anchor retired this one, a so-so ale with little but its creamy thick head to redeem it. The aroma is a soft caramel and wheat, a little musty. Thin and slightly oily to the palate, the flavor is mildly sweet wheat with a modest bitter, sour finish. I don’t know where the folk at Sal’s found this, but they could have kept it hidden for my visit.

JPDIPSO (4957) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - JUL 5, 2002
Golden color with a tall long lasting head. Wheat malt and bittering hops aroma. Lifeless wheat malt/biscuit flavor that finishes overpoweringly bitter. Not a flavorful bitterness a caffine type bitterness. A honey type dry finish.

oldrtybastrd (3228) - Doha, Qatar/Great Falls, Montana, USA - DEC 28, 2005
Pours a hazy golden yellow. Aroams of bread, fruit and spices. Flavors of orange, spice and some hints of citrus hop.
