The beer pours a very light shade of gold with a nice frothy white head. A large portion of the smell is of yeast, with other smells being metal and a tiny bit of wheat. This beer is most likely the thinest beer i've ever had with a very small amount of taste. The taste that it did have was metal and a tiny bit of hops. I thought that even though the ranking was real low, I still might enjoy it, but it wasn't the case. The aftertaste is strictly metallic...nothing good about this one. If you want a beer with very very little taste, no body and a bad smell, pick this one up. I bought this 12 ounce bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York.

Aroma of wheat. Gold. Flavor is also of wheat with some hops mixed in. A very smooth beer without a bite, something I could drink a lot of. Refreshing. This beer beer has made me think American wheats may have something to offer.

Definitely the worst of the Anchor brews i've tasted. Dark yellow color, quite big head. Aroma is skunky and hoppy. Taste is too bitter and sewer-water-like. Bitter palate. Why do they sell this crap in 0.5 liter bottles, and the nice old foghorn only in 0.25 liter?!

Our special aroma, derived from celery! Very herbal, celery-like aroma gave way to a dark, almost stout-like body. Interesting flavor, which I cannot honestly pin down. Spicy, sweet, and with slight smoked notes. Still, this brew reminds me of liquid vegetables, which I cry out to, "begone!"

Honeyish malt nose. Amberish. Somewhat bland malt taste. I am missing some exitement here.

Golden, light carbonation, white foamy head. A bit whitebread malt, fruit, spices and with a nice peppery shot of hops (lime,pine,grass). Medium bodied and more elegantly balanced than many of the ultra-hoppy IPAs out there.

Orange amber, pearling carbonation, off-white head. Slightly buttery malt, caramel, nuts and light fruit aroma. Fruit, caramel and some spices, mellowed, easy drinkable and nice balance. Bitter herbal finish and aftertaste.

A very nice amber colored beer with no head. A very skimpy body however and no real taste to speak of. ReRate- on Tap, great flavor, different from anythign I had before.

This is good, but it's not 2001. I was a bit dismayed that they put alot more spice in this than last year. If you didnt like this, at least give this beer a chance and try some earlier vintages. Still not a bad beer. I really appreciate the full body and deep, dark color. Needs less anise spicing and certainly less clove. Would benefit from more roasted malt. Though the beer, when put together, is made well and barring the too much spice, a great beer. (TRY THE EARLIER VINTAGES!!!)

Orange color. Smooth but not interesting; poor aroma (alcohol, rhum, cardboard, some malt). Some malt and caramel in the taste, not enough hop and aroma.
