Oct 23, 2009 (bottle). Clear golden/amber color. Medium white head, which is mostly diminishing. Grainy aroma and flavor. Long duration. Dry finish. Thin texture. Heavy carbonation. Fair lacing.

Oct 18, 2009 Pours deep gold with note of malts on the nose. The mild notes of malt in the palate drive to a nice dry finish. Easy to drink and quite enjoyable.

Oct 17, 2009 Bright darkish yellow color. Lots of uprising carbonation. Nice, lasting white and foamy head. Looks clear and thirst-quenching.
Smell of a nice, all-malt lager. Mild barley malt. Pleasant. A little mild (nice) corn syrup sweetness.
Nice typically light all-malt lager flavor. Malt slightly pale. Very typical. Decent but doesn’t stand out.
A tad fizzy; the texture of a Belgian but none of the spicy bite. Drinkable but average. Not bad. Really just a normal lager.

Oct 3, 2009 Clear gold with a soapy head - a dry, bitter session ale, with some bready malt to keep it from being overly so - crackery, flinty, lightly earthy, with a bit of toasted malt character - I’m a big fan of super dry beers, so I’m actually quite a fan of this, even if there isn’t very much going on - I’d pick other bitters or milds over this one, but I wouldn’t mind downing a few pints of it.

Sep 30, 2009 [9/11/08] Draught at Beer Temple in Amsterdam. Golden color. Aroma of slightly grainy malt and some citric hoppy hints. Sweetish malty flavor, finishes bitter and hoppy. Light-medium body.

Sep 28, 2009 Bottle from Phaleslu- Thanks again Peter. Pours a golden urine hue with a small white head. Notes of herbs, grass, hay, pepperoini pizza, dirt, earth, some light skunkiness. Weird. Crisp dry finish. Not Anchor’s best offering.

Sep 28, 2009 22 oz. bottle from Ludlow Wines. Pours a nice slightly cloudy amber with a thick, rocky white head. Aroma of malt, bread, hops, with a little citrus and sugar. Flavor of malt, hops, citrus, bread, and metallic notes. Some soapiness or another hard-to-pinpoint chemical seems to be at play here, and along with the metallic notes, give this an odd mouthfeel and flavor. Light-to-medium bodied, active carbonation, and bitter.

Sep 18, 2009 05/17/09. 22 oz in shaped pint glass. Clear amber with a thin, lasting off-white head that leaves some lacing. Medium carbonation with large bubbles. Biscuit aroma with some malt sweetness. Watery but fizzy mouthfeel. Flavors of malt, sourdough, and some citrus. Crisp finish with lingering bitter aftertaste. Some complain of a metallic flavor, which I got, but I didn’t find it unpleasant. Plenty of oomph for 3.3%. I’d love to try this alongside its larger brother (Old Foghorn) to see if any similarity can be detected.
