Anchor Small Beer

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

This beer is made in the old British style using second runnings. This is a medium gold colored beer, the head is tight, white, and sticks to the sides of the glass. Aroma is light caramel, bread, and earthy hops. Not very complex. Mouthfeel is average. Flavor mimics the aroma, sweet caramel notes to start, bitter hop notes in the finish.

Pours like your typical light beer with a big white fluffy head. Well carbonated. Aroma is bringing back memories of Red Stripe. Taste is a bit more fulfilling than your typical light beer. Overall for a light beer it was refreshing.

A light golden colored beer with a small soapy textured, white head. Not much hang time but a big ringlet and thick film are left behind. Light citric-grassy nose. More pronounced hop presence. Light-medium bodied and well carbonated.

It pours a solid golden with a thick white head and copious lacing. An aroma of bready malts, hops, citrus, bitterness, and light spiciness. The mouthfeel is smooth and fairly rich. Flavors of bready malts, bitterness, hops, lemon-citrus, and spiciness. Excellent small beer.

This is a little tough to review, because I feel is probably better than the ratings show. Yeah, it's a watered down "light" beer, but for a light beer has some decent flavor and mouthfeel. My father-in-law talks about "Combat coffee" from the old military days...where they take the used coffee grinds from the first batch and make a 2nd batch of coffee. This sounds about like the same idea. My first small beer, so I would say about what I expected. Would I get again for this price?....probably not, but sometimes these low alchohol brews allow you to taste the malty flavors more. I would consider this if they had it in 6-packs for something like $6....as daytime or lawnmower beer.

I guess I should not be surprised by the results of this one.. I was warned by all the ratings on here. I really wanted it to be good. I was not..

Smells of hops but not nice ones, some grass and straw and maybe some feet. Pours see through mild gold with a bit of white head. Water light body with ok carbonation and a crisp finish with a bite to it. Flavor was watery which I get but there really is no balance here some hops but no citrus or malt .. Tasted like straw.. I tried it..I don't need to rink it again.. it did get better when warmed a bit.

Yeah it's pretty terrible. Even for my swill accustomed palate as of late. Amber, lots of carbonation, little froth, decent lacing. Immediate corn and sweet malt. Big turn off. Taste is third world pale lager. Too bad, make this into a malt liquor Fritz!!

So...........do I rate this beer based on not reading the description of how it's made.........or do I rate it based on what I put on paper when drinking it? This is a very weak beer. Light gold in colour, weak aroma, mild beer flavour. It tastes exactly like I read the brewer's description.........a watered down leftover beer.
