Anchor Small Beer
Light Hibrid Beer 3.3 º
Anchor Small Beer is a historically inspired Ordinary Bitter crafted from the second runnings of the brewery's legendary Barleywine mash. This sessionable brew captures a surprisingly deep malt complexity for its low gravity, offering a bouquet of toasted bread, biscuit, and delicate caramel notes inherited from the original grain bed. Subtle earthy and resiny hop aromas provide a balanced counterpoint to light, clean fruity esters. Refreshingly light and dry, it emphasizes high drinkability with a firm, crisp bitterness that defines the style, making it a nuanced tribute to the heritage of English brewing traditions and the art of sparging for efficiency.
Appearance. Pale amber to light copper color with brilliant clarity; topped by a low to moderate off-white head with fair retention.
Aroma. Low to moderate malt aroma featuring bready and biscuity notes with a light caramel quality; mild fruity esters are present alongside a subtle earthy and resiny hop character.
Taste. Initial bready maltiness leads into a medium-high bitterness; flavors of biscuit and faint toffee are balanced by earthy, resiny hop notes; the finish is dry with a lingering, clean bitterness and no diacetyl.
Mouthfeel. Light body with moderate carbonation; extremely crisp and easy-drinking with no alcohol warmth and low astringency.
