Anchor Summer Beer

This is a beer I first had last summer out at Tanglewood in the Berkshires. I remember it as being an amazing summer beer, and it didn't disappoint. Reading the label on the bottle, it says this is the first American wheat beer in modern times. It was first brewed in 1984. which to me sounds quite recent, as a lot of the beer I like from Belgium and Germany has been made from the same recipe for the hundreds of years

Another note about this beer. After having it last summer, I tried to get Molly Anchor Summer pint glasses for her birthday last year, but instead they sent her Anchor Steam(their flagship beer) glasses. Oh well!

first impressions: nice large white head, smells malty

taste: There is a slight bite in the beginning, but after that its all smooth and malty. There is some wheat, but its definitely different then a weisse. No aftertaste at all

overall: great This is a delicious beer, tastes good and goes down easy. It is perfect for hot summer days... like today


other beer had recently:

Yesterday was my friend Sally's last day of work at ITA(which is near where I work) so a bunch of us who work in the area went out to the CBC after work for drinks. I had their Hefeweisen and Tall Tale Pale Ale. I remember having the weisse last year and being disappointed, but this time it was quite good, not quite as good as a German import, but pretty good none the less. The Pale Ale seemed like a standard American Pale Ale, I don't remember anything standing out about it.
