BeerPrince (1701), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Feb 24, 2008 Amber body with minimal head. Aroma is hoppy and caramel. Somewhat sweet upfront with lots of malts. Simply and easy. SuzyGreenberg (934), Seattle, Washington, USA Jan 27, 2008 draft @ brewery - pours amber and slightly cloudy with thin white head; fruity touch to the aromas, but i’m not too big on liberty hops (nose wise); sweet malty flavors and drinks smooth with no bitterness BillKismet (1407), Seattle, Washington, USA Jan 26, 2008 Easy sunrise color with perfect light creamed froth head. Light maltiness and fruitiness in aroma. Sweet, fruity, candi malt flavor with touch of bitterness. Oakes (6853), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Jan 16, 2008 Hazy, vibrant amber. Very grassy aroma with light citrus note. Moderate bitterness. A little grassy still on the palate, and a touch woody in the finish. A relatively forgettable pint...not thinking Liberty is a good "single hop". Old_Mr_Crow (1014), Seattle, Washington, USA Jan 15, 2008 Tap at the brewery 12/21/07. Pours a cloudy amber with a nice head and strong lacing. Sweet, gentle nose of candied gummi peach and overripe bartlett pear. While the opening flavor is likewise sweet and soft, orchard juice warmed by gentle candied malt, it quickly turns to a bitter and somewhat astringent finish atop a noticeable diacetyl . The hops close soapy with a bit of grapefruit pith. Spot-on mouthfeel, the carbonation textured but not aggressive. Pretty good, but not among my favorites of their IPAs or even of their their hopfest varieties. 7/3/7/4/14=3.5
