Commercial Description:
Amarillo and Glacier hops give this medium bodied American Pale ale its citrus character. Grapefruit and mango flavors are backed up by a firm maltyness, making it refreshing and flavorful. PEACE. 5.0 %ABV

The Liberation Ale poured a straw color with a thick, creamy, white head that went to a thin film and laced the glass.

The aroma was fruity (grapefruit) hops, and some spiciness.

The taste was fruitiness up front (mostly grapefruit), followed by some spicy hops. It did seem to have a slight skunky taste, and was a little on the thin side.

Overall, I thought this was a very nice American Pale Ale. A little fuller, with a little more consistent taste and it would have been excellent.
