This was very hoppy, but well balanced. Nice biscuit flavor that compliments the cascades. It is very hoppy, but easy to drink. I really liked the liberty ale!

Crushed with Jakebra. Yummy, citrusy, balanced malt and hop nose and flavor. Fruitiness gets rotten in the finish and makes it not as refreshing as it should. Still excellent.

From a 22 oz bottle purchased locally. Aroma is citrusy lemon/orange, Orange gold in color with a one-inch white head. Flavor is lemony and a little oxidized. Malt is a little one-dimentional amd a little cardboard in there. Flat body and lacks richness. This is a bad bottle. I’ve had this beer before and I know it’s much better.

Color is typical of a lager, clear yellow with a tinge of orange, but with a nice, thick, fine-bubbled head that persists. Aroma is crisp and malty with a hoppy undertone, not complex but still inviting. Flavor has equally strong hops and malt components, not too bitter, with just a touch of sweetness. Texture is smooth, and finish is hoppy and satisfactory.

On tap at the brewery. Gold color with a thin white head. Filmy lace left behind. Aroma is straight-up Cascade hops. Flavor is pale malt with Cascade citrus and a bit of an apple juice note. Slight bitterness is a little weak for the style. Nice mouthfeel, with smooth carbonation and a medium-thin body. Drinkable but simple. Just doesn’t jive with my ideal profile of the style.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a creamy off white head with some retention, with attractive lacing over a coppery gold slightly hazy body....nose of floral hop, no pine or resin, slight yeast....taste initially mild malts, then hop bitterness with grapefruit tones, very clean finish....not really heavy in the mouth. It certainly meets the APA style.

Pours orange with a small white head. Nose of spice. Tastes fair- dry, some hops but nearly as many as I expected. This isn’t a great pale ale. This is the second Anchor beer I’ve had that’s disappointed me, I doubt I’ll be trying any more of their brews.

Pours a hazy copper color with a nice foamy white head. Hoppy aroma with a sweetness of dried fruit. Rich and smooth fruity citrus flavor with hints of orange and grapefruit and a comfortable hop-bitter finish. Nice creamy mouthfeel.
