Anchor Summer Beer:
Ah, hello friends and welcome back to our run through the (currently) available Anchor beer. Today we jump back to what has been the theme of these past few weeks: summer beers and Anchor goes super creative with their naming of this one in Anchor Summer Beer.  So aside from the underwhelming name what does this beer offer us that any other summer beer doesn’t?  Not much really, but the bottle script does highlight the head on this beer which is a change from the usual “we use this kind of yeast” or “we only use these hops”.  The beer is actually an all-malt beer with half of the used malts coming from malted wheat which causes this beer to have head on in that would make a gin fizz jealous.  The beer pours a hazy golden color with a head that is very dense, slightly rocky, leaves a ton of lacing and sticks around from first sip to last gulp.  The nose of the beer is hard to really detect through the spackle like head but I noticed wheat and honey notes every once and a while.  The tasting notes are pretty uniform with strong notes of wheat (duh), malts, and a hint of honey does rear up every once and a while.  The aftertaste is mellow with a touch of sour but mainly it’s on par with most of your higher end wheat beers.  Another good beer from Anchor but in a crowded field of summer brews that are wheat based, it does little to separate it from the uninitiated.
