Aug 22, 2006 Deep gold,small beige head. Nicely balanced hop/malt nose.No malt in the palate, thin, with nothing but a medium hop taste. No malt, no balance. Not one I would look for.

Subtle malt aroma. Body is golden orange with a light tan head. Flavor is very mild. A good example of this style of beer.

Aug 15, 2006 Aroma was beery, malty, with a hint of hopps. Slightly darker than american macros. Flavor was malty, though not particularly sweet. Not bad.

Aug 13, 2006 Squat bomber, courtesy BitBucket Jr. Beautiful bottle. Pours dark straw with more than a wisp of white head, but not by much. Vacant nose, neutral palate, nothing on the attack and little on the finish. Absent hops. Nice to know what small beer’s all about, but this is interesting only as a history lesson. The only boring beer I’ve yet had from Anchor.

Aug 13, 2006 It probably was a bad idea to sample this after several "big" beers, but this seems like a not-too-distant cousin of bottled water. I applaud the attempt to get the full value out of the mash, but this is just to vacant for my tastes. Maybe some hops would help.

Aug 12, 2006 Pours amber into a shaker. Off-white medium sized head with good retention. Fraternity basement notes. Filtered mung water; but not entirely unpleasant. Better than non-alcoholic...

Jul 24, 2006 Was ready for this to be a complete waste, but perhaps to gearing down it actually seems quite okay. Sure ain’t running out to buy cases, but there’s enough juice left after the fog to run hops through and keep an old tradition going. Sure, maybe they could add more, but wouldn’t that be cheating?

Jul 20, 2006 22 oz bottle. Pours a deep amber, clear, with moderate carbonation. Very large bubbles at first. Thick, pillowy head with fairly decent lacing. Faintly metallic aroma, the bland smell does not bode well. First taste yielded an immediate second taste because the flavor is so weak. What flavor there is starts slightly sweet but turns quite bitter very rapidly, finishing in a combination not unlike sourdough rolls. Overall impression is that this beer has been beefed up because the malt was too watered down. Nice concept, poor execution. Not a horrible beer, but certainly not worth the price or the time.
