Anchor is America’s first and oldest craft brewery, with roots dating back to the California gold rush. Today, our beers are handmade from an all-malt mash in our traditional copper brewhouse. Our process combines the time-honored art of classical craft brewing with carefully applied, state-of-the-art modern methods.

Opaque, slightly dark blonde. Thin head. Bitter, so much pithy grapefruit. A bit of malt sweetness and a lot of alcohol and grapefruit bitterness to it.

Slight haze and pale amber. Thin head. Grainy, some malt sweetness but husky, low bitterness and minimal hop character. Decent beer but aiming very basic.

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours clear gold with a decent white head. Aroma is pale malt - not quite cracker or bready - with some floral. Med body. Flavor is bready with some light spice/floral hop bitter. Tingles a bit. Ok, but not a Czech pils. For me anyway.

Influenced by Meat Sauce Messiah Closing beer after getting run roughshod for ten hours, but everything came out ace, so a successful day all around. Nice having an experienced staff. Great job by all today.
