They have little malt charter, little hop character and little yeast character. I like my beer to taste of something.<br /><br />Another good American brewed wheat beer is Gordon Biersch Hefeweizen. It's a Bavarian Weiss that happens to have been brewed in America.Séan Billingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10347677720588826886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219005652464990693.post-13449529577189396562009-11-23T09:25:57.552+00:002009-11-23T09:25:57.552+00:00"Anchor was the brewery that revived wheat be..."Anchor was the brewery that revived wheat beer in the United States back in 1984.

Not sure why they chose to use a regular ale yeast but in doing so they probably set the standard.<br /><br />Back in the day, my Sunday drink was Anchor's Aweigh...
