Pours a yellowish amber with large frothy slighlty off white head. The head leaves a nice lace. The aroma is very malty with straw and molasses dominating. Some citrus and fruit are there but quiet faint. The taste starts with a bit of hop bitterness then some sweetness comes in. Finish is average with some bitterness. The body is medium to light and this is a nice refreshing beer that I have been enjoying for many years.

Dec 21, 2009 Yellowish pour with white head. Light, spicey hop aroma. Flavor is kind of tangy hops. Nice mouthfeel. Certainly a good session ale. But, i feel like there might be an age issue with the bottle. Anchor probably needs to figure out how to get all these old six packs out of the market. . .

Dec 18, 2009 Couldn’t find anything particularly unique about this beer. cloudy, frothy and medium mouth-feel, but, overall, somewhat disappointing.

Dec 17, 2009 12-oz bottle. Citrus aroma, but something else, maybe a little like wet bark. Bright light golden. A substantial head that dissipates slowly. Plenty of lacing. Very lightly sweet. Moderate bitterness, then more bitterness as the beer settles in your mouth. A touch sour, too. Very pleasant on the palate. Light bodied, but creamy. Nothing strange here. Typical in a good way. Very drinkable, too. For the cost, a very nice sessionable ale.

Dec 8, 2009 Pours hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is grassy malts with hints of citrus and spicy hop. Flavor is light malts with citrusy and piney hops, but not much in the finish. It’s ok but definitely not a great APA.

Dec 7, 2009 What a nice surprise, I buy a sixer of their special ale, and not only did i not realize that i bought last years (’08) and there was a liberty ale in the pack! really nice IPA and it must have been an eye opener when first brewed in ’75, and its still great, not going to blow your hair back, but a really nice taste and flavor, great body, maybe could use a little makeover for the 35th anniversary.

Dec 6, 2009 Old school American IPA. Think it’s the first IPA I ever did have. Great label too. Nowadays in comparison it’s not that great, but still. Poured with a decent medium sized head and a little lace. Color is a hazy medium amber. Aroma is an earthy, slightly grapefruit hoppy, malty, spicey and a bit floral. Flavors about the same. Body is good and so is carbonation. Finish is a long hoppy bitter sweet. Could be a session.
