Aug 19, 2007 Nice session bear. Faint taste of Foghorn, but much much much lighter. They should put this in cans.

Aug 12, 2007 22 oz bottle. Pours a clear gold with a rocky, off-white head that diminishes rapidly. A bit musty on the nose, I detected notes of: stale sourdough and rye breads, weak iced tea, and earthy hops. Light to medium-bodied and with a bizarre carbonation that felt and tasted like rinsing my mouth with hydrogen peroxide, leaving a very dry and almost neutral aftertaste. Not something I look for in a beer. The flavor makes me think of a blend of a weak iced tea, soda water and earthy hops. I can appreciate Anchor’s wanting to revive a tradition of creating a second run beer, but I can’t say that they’ve come up with a beer worthy of their label. I was wholly underwhelmed. Then again, perhaps I’m just not a fan of this "style".

Jul 31, 2007 The aroma comes across as a thin maltiness with an acrid darkness. The beer formed a nice head of bright white foam. Color was a beautiful medium amber. The body was terribly thin with an almost urine-like acidity. I tried two different bottles thinking the first one had skunked or otherwise been mistreated but both were equally bad. I’m really shocked that Anchor released this beer as it’s undoubtedly the worst beer I’ve had in the last year (including one infected micro brew.)

Jul 27, 2007 Clear amber with frothy head. Aroma is citrus & floral. Flavor is astringent and acrid as if someone ran too mcuh water through old coffee grounds. Tastes like when i have tried to make beers with second runnings, thin and tannic.

Jul 23, 2007 On tap at the brewery in S.F. Not their best beer, but for the style and a mere 110 calories per serving, this is basically a light beer, and the best one I’ve had as far as that goes.
Smell of some sweetness and whole grain. Taste is definitely slightly light, but similar to the smell. Light, but still fairly flavorful for what it is. A great lighter drinkable beer.

Jul 23, 2007 I found this quite enjoyable. It is a little watered down, but I suppose that could be expected. The flavor is still very nice and it goes down pleasantly.
