Anchor Summer is the first American wheat beer in modern
times. Our first brew of this light and refreshing beer was
in the summer of 1984.
Anchor Summer is an all-malt beer, and over 50% of its
malt comes from malted wheat. It is fermented with a  traditional
top-fermenting "ale" yeast because we prefer the clean
flavors developed by this yeast. We believe that this style
best celebrates the refreshingly light flavor of malted wheat.
You may notice that the head on this beer is unusually abundant,
with a consistency similar to whipped egg whites. This is due
to protein contributed by the wheat.
The brewers at Anchor are proud to have revived not only
rich hearty dark beers, but also this light crisp style of a
modern American wheat beer.

 Wheat
malt contributes to an unusual lightness and dryness to
the palate, and this—combined with the distinctive
flavor of the wheat—makes for a perfect thirst-quenching
beverage. It is the ideal drink for beer lovers who appreciate
tradition and character in their beer, but also seek a
lighter, refreshing style, perfect for warm weather. |
