Anchor Liberty Ale

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

Appearance is slightly cloudy orange-brown, tall granular head. Flavor is lemon-malty. Palate is a tad thicker and less bitter than the Steam beer.

bottle poured an orange amber color with a half inch thick white head. aroma has sweet wheat, citrus peel, pine, and floral hops. sweet and flowery. mouth feel is light with lighter carbonation. flavor has flowery dry hops, dry citrus, light bitterness, and malt towards the end. some minerals carry into a drying finish with bitterness and resin against the light sweetness. flavorful as far as a pale ale goes.

Solid and frothy head when poured from the bottle. Color of the beer is golden-orange, leaning more to the golden end. Great lacing on the glass when drank. Aroma is heavy of floral hoppiness and a bit of citris accid aroma. Flavor has a great light malt taste which after this starts to fade the the floral/citrus hoppy taste which lingers. A little bit of the alcohol flavor comes through but it pairs great with the end flavor of the hops. Great drink and well worth a shot.

poured a clear golden-copper color with a small white head. The nose was citrusy hops, with a hint of orange peel and flowers. The taste is of hops and bread, with a little bit of citrus in the aftertaste. The palate is pretty smooth, a little watery, but not too bad. All around not a bad ale. I probably won’t return for more, but I’d recommend it to friends!

really its a classic american beer offered by a classic american brewery. From the copper orange color to the bitter flavor, to the flowery citrus hops smell to the mouth coating palate this beer is all good all around. No its not a kind of beer that changes lives but it is the first beer i’d offer to any englishman who questions american pale ale.

Floral hop aroma and taste with a medium thick white head. Light malt flavor. One of the better examples of an Amercian Pale Ale.

Great aroma of cascade hops that is accentuated nicely by a malt presence that compliments the hops, but still leaves its backbone intact. Taste is similar. I’ll defintely buy this one again. It seems like it will be a refreshing session beer.

Lemons hit the nose right away, pours clear orange, lots of foam. Taste is predominantly hoppy, but the hint of pale malt is enough to keep it balanced. Getting some more pine and spice as it disappears from the glass, crisp refreshing finish with some pleasant bitters lingering. Not a huge fan of hoppy beers but I enjoyed this.
