Finally having this beer before it sinks to the bottom of the ocean floor. It’s malty, funky, sweet, and I can understand they’re going under. Don’t feel too bad, they sold out to Sapporo for $85mil about five years ago.

0.355 l can from 'Beer Republic', canned in January 2023. Almost clear, orangeish amber with a large, frothy, stable, white head. Sweetish, quite fruity-resiny, gently floral aroma of orange jam, mango, grapefruit and pine. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, rather fruity-floral, gently resiny taste of orange jam, grapefruit, mango and pine, followed by a short, quite bitter, slightly dry finish. Medium to full body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Tasty IPA, nicely bitter with old school flavours. Maybe my last beer from Anchor ever.

Opaque dark blond colour with lasting thin head. Aroma and flavour have quite a lot of mandarin juice. Some pithy bitterness too.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
