Anchor Liberty Ale

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

Better than their steam beer but not much more. Hazy orange-like color topped with a medium head and. The carbonation seemed to disappear half way through the beer. Sweet citrusy, mild hoppy aroma. Nothing too special. Very smooth, orange citrus flavor with a hint of hops in the background. Somewhat tangy aftertaste. Although it goes down quite smooth, it could use a little more flavor. Perhaps more hops. This is pretty light bodied and would seem to be a nice fit for the summer.

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.

Cloudy orange-yellow with a medium off-white head that sticks around for a bit. Medium hop nose of orange and citrus, mixed with caramel, toffee and biscuits. Nice balanced flavor with a citric hop finish that is both medium dry and medium bitter.

Overall very good ale. Aroma was very hoppy and sweet with very heavy floral scents. Appearance is golden and hazy with minimal head. Flavor is slightly bitter and the palate is pretty decent. No bad aftertaste and a very full body. Much better than regular Anchor Steam Ale.

maybe iI got a bad bottle or I just don’t like it. it poured a yellow with orange hue, big head but it tated skunky. very dissapontted I expected so much more i schould proboly try it again

Bottle: Orange-amber under a small frothy head. Lively carbonation. Good lacing. Powerful citrussy hop aroma with floral and buiscutty notes. Some pale malts and nuts with orange zest. Long dry-bitter finish. Fantastic.

has a citrus smell, tnice golden color, too dry and bitter for my personal taste.

Hazy light copper, white head, medium lacing. Flowery aroma of hops. Medium body with strong carbonation for the style. Too dry flowery grapefruit hops dominate the flavor.
