Apr 7, 2008 Pours bright golden with a wispy white head. Aroma of pale malt, herbal and bready malt. Taste is bitter, grainy with pale malt and herbal notes. Light to medium bodied with lively carbonation. Easy to drink, but not that enjoyable. Thin bodied and bitter.

Apr 5, 2008 Part of Syd’s weak beer fest. Bottle pours amber with a really large head; OK - a huge and lasting monster of a head with lots of lace. The aroma is of hops and some malt in there. The flavor has some dry malt, some hops to balance it out. The palate is thin to medium rich. Overall, I think this is a real nice alternative to NA as a "crap - I have to drive later" session beer. Under rated.

Apr 4, 2008 Updated: Apr 10, 2008This was a real disappointment and I found it utterly unenjoyable. It didn’t help that I expected more from Anchor, generally love bitter, and liked the idea behind the beer. It is amber with a medium off-white head that slowly shrinks to a foamy top and leaves some weak lace. The aroma is a lot of grain, hay, hints of dust and yeasty dough, light earthy-piney hops and hints of sulphur and fruit. The aroma is tus nice and has a definite English quality to it. In taste, however, it is mostly just bitter with an astringent, drying bitterness that has a sharp grassy-lemony quality but little real flavour. There is some faint earthy-old grain taste, but very little and overall it really ias just bland and bitter with almost no real flavour.

Apr 1, 2008 pours clear yellow orange. nose is soured grains and earthy hops. flavors is tart lemony and grainy finishing with a grassy hop flavor. Very drying almost astringent finish. Not a very good beer at all, but not a drain pour.

Mar 28, 2008 Definitely not a great beer, but MUCH better than the reviews. I’m surprised how low the reviews are frankly. It’s nice and bitter, and, obviously a good session beer since the alcohol is so low. I’m not sure why this is labeled small beer though.

Mar 23, 2008 Very pale copper, surprisingly white head. Doughy, bready aroma with hints of caramel and some fresh herbal hoppiness. Toasty cracker malts in the flavor, more light caramel, finishing cleanly with an assertive bitterness, lightly tangy. Carbonation is a bit overdone. I like it, and enjoy historical aspect and the fact that they were able to get more beer out of the grain. The flavor is light and faint but actually quite nuanced. Cutting down the carbonation could actually make this into a pretty nice low alc beer.

Feb 25, 2008 Pours a clear tan with very little head. What is there is just white head. Aroma is definitely funky malts and grass. Flavor is malt and yeast primarily with hints of hops. Nothing great stands out. Bleh. Not impressed.

Feb 16, 2008 Funky aroma of wet straw and malt. The most striking thing about this beer when it hits the palate is its dryness. It is also malty, grass and straw flavors, lingering hop bitterness, slightly tinny.
