| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 16, 2009 Stumpy 355ml bottle, as pictured.
Pours a slightly cloudy pale straw yellow with a big, frothy white head with great retention and decent lacing.
Hoppy pale ale character is immediately recognizable on the nose: citrusy, grapefruity hops dominate, with some herbal spices thrown in.
Smooth, thick mouth feel; medium-bodied pale ale, rather low carbonation.
One of the hoppiest IPA’s I’ve yet tasted: sour grapefruit and spicy herbs/woody notes all over the palate, with a nice moderate bitterness on top and a sour, citrusy finish. Very, very nice. Refreshing, multi-levelled pale, very well balanced, highly sessionable. Another great American beer. JulienHuxley (225), Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, Canada

Anchor sort of opened my eyes to american brewing, and a new world of beer:-)
My first rating of this, and it is a few years since I tasted it last, so I can’t quite remember what it’s like.
But off course it is still a good brew. Today maybe not that earth rocking as it was some yeats ago, but still a very good beer.
Very light gold, with white head that dissappears.
Hoppy nose, flowery AND piney. Creamy with high carbonation.
Very fine Pale Ale. aaronbr (58), Palo Alto, California, USA

The scent is filled with grassy and piney hops, and some mandarin. The taste has some piney hops, bready malt. The mouthfeel is a bit too carbonated. A rather good beer for regular consumption.
