Anchor Liberty Ale

Brewed by Anchor Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
San Francisco, California USA

12 oz bottle. Light aroma of floral and spicy hops and caramel. Clear golden with fluffy white head which fell quickly. Caramel and light graininess in flavor. Light spicy hop notes. Medium body and mouth feel. Finish is dry and moderately bitter.

[Look]: Hazy Amber Orange color with a nice rocky head. [Smell]: Citrus, fruity, earthly and bready aroma. [Taste]: Citrus, earthly and bready, hint of spicy. Well balance. Light to medium body. [Overall]: One of my favorite American Pale Ale.

Hops are very apparent and stay with you through the finish. Strident taste and aroma.

Not a bad beer. A little hoppy for me, almost like an IPA. Maybe one day I will turn into a hop head, but I dont think it will be any time soon.

I am not terribly impressed. The whole light pale ales that are kind of same, a little hoppy, malty in different ways, gets old.

Bottle. Pours a light hazy amber with a medium white head. Hoppy and citrus aromas with a nice backbone of malt. Medium bodied and clean. Light bitter finish.

650 mL bottle. Pours a clear deep gold with a 2-finger white head that quickly subsides to a bubbly film that stays, leaving some lace on the sides. The aroma is intensely hoppy with a herbal quality about it and a hint of grapefruit. In the taste the Cascade hops dominate with their astringent character. This continues in the aftertaste although an innuendo of pear does come up. Will I drink it again? You bet!

12 oz bottle pours medium golden in color with a healthy head. Grassy and herbal hop aroma with a slight bit of citrus. Medium body with a slight aftertaste of corn and sourness. Nice amount of bitterness with a pleasant bitter aftertaste. More bitter than balanced but middle of the road APA.
