Jul 23, 2007 Updated: Sep 5, 2007Sampled fresh at the brewery after the tour. Noticeably better and fresher than bottled back in Tx. Medium golden color with bright white head. Definite lacing. Sweet wheaty honey smell that was mouth watering and inviting. Simply the freshest, best tasting wheat beer I’ve had. Crisp wheaty honey taste and a medium length finish that left me wanting more. Very nice, refreshing, and easy to drink. A true classic, and a benchmark for the style. <Originally gave it a 4.4 fresh at the brewery, but it is significantly more bland when bottled, and not fresh.>

Jul 15, 2007 Eggy foam? Maybe not, but it was a ok wheat beer. Kind of one note and a little bland for their beers.

Jul 14, 2007 Bottle at beerbistro. Golden yellow body, small white head. Sweet honey and pale malt in the aroma. (6+) Similar flavour with notes of sweet honey, light toasty malt notes. Hing of ginger is likely in my head. Average palate. Accomplishes what it sets out to do nicely, but that doesn’t change the fact that it is a bit ho-hum mild.

Jul 13, 2007 Bottle. Pours clear yellow with white head and good lacing. The aroma is extremely grainy, with some hay and zest notes. The flavor is much the same, but heavy on the hay. Some fruit esters come out as it warms, but nothing particularly interesting.

Jul 13, 2007 On tap at Sacramento Sports and Brew Fest. I finally found an Anchor beer that I don’t like and suprisingly...it’s an American Wheat. Surprise, surprise. An aroma of tortilla corn chips. Literally. Like taking a big whiff of a freshly opened bag of corn tortilla chips. Underneath that blast, was some wet hay-like aroma trying to get out. Appearance was a bright golden hue, nice head. Flavor was BORING. Almost like chewing on paper, it had this unpleasant something that I can’t put my finger on. I couldn’t even finish my beer with this one. Ugh. No thanks.

Jul 12, 2007 Not like any wheat that I’ve ever had, I actually could not have told you that it was a wheat beer while I was drinking it. Aroma is bready, but doesn’t offer much, golden in color with a firm dense head. flavor is remarkably dry and addictingly so. Quite enjoyed the dry tart flavor. palate is light and would prove to be good for the summer time. quite an enjoyable brew despite low ratings.

Jul 12, 2007 Pours a clear, sparkling golden color with a white average, rocky head; longevity is fair and lacing is sporatic. Nose is grainy, wheaty and fairly dull. Flavor isn’t much better; lots of somewhat sweet wheat bread with a hint of citrus and light grassy hop notes bringing moderately low bitterness. Palate is light, almost fizzy, and crisp with a dryness to it. Finishes quickly with with dry bread notes and a light hop bitterness. A fairly unimpressive wheat/summer ale with minimal character and not all that refreshing. Not one this breweries best offerings.
