Very nice citrus hop aroma. Amber colored with a big creamy head that lasts a long time. Very nice citrus hop flavor. Enough malt to back up the hops. Nice carbonation gives this a very pleasant overall flavor and mouthfeel. I love Liberty Ale. It is a classic that can still stand up to the newer hoppy beers.

It pours a golden color with a decent size pure white head. It has the right amount of carbonation and some small lacing.
On the nose there is pine and citrus notes and light malt
The flavor has some good malt present. There is some citrus,floral,grains. I am getting some pine from the hops. It’s well balanced and nothing over powering
It finishes nice there is a light piney bitterness but nothing that lingers around. I would have to say one of the better pale ale’s I have tried

On tap at Tylers, Durham. Been years since I’ve had this one, and decided to dial it up one hot day at T’s. I recall being blown away as a young’un at how bitter this beer was. It now seems moderate, but I appreciate it for that quality just as much as I did for its apparent outrageousness in the past. In fact, it’s more fruity than I recall though still pleasantly bitter. And while the mouthfeel is a bit more thin than remembered as well, it’s not a distraction from a fine brew.

Beautiful dense head, flavourful yet not overpowering. One of the better beers I have tried. I will be sampling more from Anchor soon!
