May 18, 2009 (Bottle) Not the best Anchor beer I’ve had, and I know this brewery is capable of producing truly outstanding beers. Much too sweet, and not really all that interesting. To its credit, it lacks the unpleasant sourness that dominates many wheat beers. Neither crisp nor light. Not terribly complex either. But drinkable, and better than many wheat beers.

May 9, 2009 Golden (but cloudy) in color, lovely snow white head that leaves a mild lace.
Some wheat, but there’s an off odor similar to animal stall in a barn. The beer also appears to have skunked slightly.
More hopped than anticipated (I didn’t really smell it). Drier than most wheat beers. If I was blindfolded, I’d probably predict this to be a light American pale ale. This is a pleasant beer but not as a wheat beer; there’s very little to notice.

May 9, 2009 Appearance: Pours a clearish, fairly effervescent, golden body with a thin, white head.
Smell: Faint nose of wheat with a light graininess to it and, well, nothing else. What’ve I gotten myself into this time?
Taste: Slightly grainy malted wheat with a pinch of powdered sugar sweetness. A single, solitary drop of lemon. Faint bitterness. ... Aaannnndd, that’s about it, aside from the dry, faintly bitter finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium-plus carbonation, a bit lively at times.
Drinkability: Well, that was a big, cold glass of absolutely nothing. Weak, washed out, and woefully bland. Yes, I understand summer beers often opt for lighter flavor profiles, but this is ridiculous.

May 8, 2009 interesting fruit aroma and an equally appealing fruit taste. a farmhouse brew that seems to have an appreciable hop character to it. not a surprise this is a good wheat as it is from a good brewer. refreshing and i think underrated here with its nice summer lightness and appealing dry character paired with appropriate carbonation and cloudy white head. any brewhound will get into this wheat.

May 8, 2009 12 ounce bottle. Decent looking. Some hops but very little coupled with thin malt. Kind of lackluster but not bad

Apr 25, 2009 Aroma is light but not too light. with a nice, malty backbone. Flavor is very nicely balanced between barley and wheat malt, so it’s a little bit more bold than an all-wheat beer. This Not a whole lot of hoppy flavor, but its there and thats all that you can ask for with a wheat beer. Overall, very solid.

Apr 14, 2009 Appearance: pale gold color; huge, long-lasting, fluffy white head
Aroma: lacks some intensity; everything is faint; may show some typical signs, but any such signs are definitely muted
Flavor: moderately strong grainy wheat character; the richness and spiciness of rye might be noticeable which is definitely unexpected
Mouthfeel: medium body; medium carbonation; seemingly mediocre

Apr 13, 2009 NIce looking beer. Nice thick head that doesn’t fade away quickly. Transparent in appearance. I wish it had a bit more haze i.e. more transparent/opaque. Big yeast aroma. Not much else to the aroma. Not a very good malt taste. At first it is slightly fruity/yeasty, but then the malt flavor kicks in and it isn’t that great. I was excited to see this at Green’s, Buford Highway for those in Atlanta, and I am not sure about Ponce, but I was hoping that it would be better. For $10 a 6-pack there are better wheat/witbiers/or hefeweizens.
