Jul 2, 2009 Updated: Jul 3, 2009Pours deep gold, almost amber, with a generous and durable bright white head that left thick lacing. Wheat malt is quite noticable in the smell, with a touch of grassy hops mixed in. Flavors are similar, with some spiciness and a lemony twang. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, and a clean finish. A decent beer, just not very exciting.

Jun 26, 2009 On tap at the Flying Saucer in KC. Pours a crystal clear, lighter golden body with a big, foamy, white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is light and crisp with some sweeter pale wheats, a light fruit, and some grassy, semi-metallic hops. Flavor is sweeter pale wheats, light fruits with a bit of a sourness, and a good amount of grassy hops that linger for a decent amount of time. Dry, light, and refreshing. Overall, a decent summer beer. The light wheat taste goes well with the light amount of grass and sweet flavors. Not bad, I can see myself quaffing a bunch of these at a Royals game.

Jun 25, 2009 Pours clear gold with a tall creamy white head that eventually fades to a thick skim and lasts. Aroma is very wheaty, yellow cake, citrus, limonade and some bready notes. Flavor is lots of grainy wheat, some sweet barley malt, dusty citrus notes, floral notes and cactus. Finish is wheat, cardboard and mineral notes. Palate is light bodied with a large bubbled but soft carbonation. Not bad for being a filtered Wheat Ale, but it is a filtered wheat ale.

Jun 23, 2009 Bottle, Rehills, Newcastle. A clean tasting, soft and citrusy beer, with almost a shandy-esque aroma and taste. Flavours of sherbert lemon, orange, grapefruit and peach. Slight dry taste at the back of the mouth. Great beer for a perfect midsummers evening. Late on, it reminded me of a good quality continental lager....!

Jun 22, 2009 A lightly golden colored beer with no head.A decent wheat taste but almost like a light American macro.May be good to drink after being outside but that’s it.This is my first rating so it might not be all that accurate.

Jun 18, 2009 I was excited to try this when I first found it. A nice summer beer imo. Balanced flavors. Some light malts with the right amount of hops and the right usage of hops. Very drinkable and refreshing. Almost on the sweeter side which makes it.

Jun 15, 2009 Anchor Summer Beer is a slightly hazy light golden beer with a thick, fluffy, white head that has outstanding retention and lacing. It has a fruity wooden aroma (Saaz?) and it smells a little funky. It’s light bodied; smooth and foamy with a crisp finish. It’s a mellow flavor. There’s enough green bitterness to keep me thirsty. There’s a note of lemon rind at the finish. It’s a nice summer beer: not watered down, but simple and refreshing.
