Sticking with our venture along the west coast, here we have Anchor Summer Beer out of San Francisco. Anchor is more well known for their Steam Beer, but what a delight is their Summer Beer! After Rob and I had had our fill of exploring the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz, we decided to crash along the coast with this refreshing beer.
The beer pours a very pale yellow, but has a huge, gorgeous creamy head that stuck around forever. Normally a wheat beer that has this much clarity turns me off, but this one hit the spot. The aroma and flavor kind of lack.. the aroma is slightly grassy, malty, and has a hint of fruit and the flavor is mostly dry and crisp.
Anchor charges on the higher side for this beer ($10.99 for a six pack), but I could not think of a more enjoyable night than drinking this beer for hours on end along the San Fran coast. This is a true summer beer... it's easy to drink, thirst quenching, and delightfully dry. We'll be going on more road trips here very shortly... and this beer will surely be one that will be in my suitcase for the journey. Cheers, Anchor!
