Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Pours a crisp clean golden colour. Giant white head. Tons of carbonation. Pale malts, sweet fruit, and light citrus in the nose. Starts out lightly sweet, light bodied, very light. Subtle hops in the finish, with a pleasant citrus quality. Very drinkable summer refresher.
Wheat and lemon-y flavor, golden yellow color and adequate head. I had this Anchor on draft. This is what summer beer is all about, flavor and refreshment.
Golden color. Mostly diminishing head. Malty, bready flavor and aroma. Not bad, drinkable.
