Floaties. Orange marmalade appearance, no head. Citrus, spice, pungent. Jumps from the glass. Hoppy, sour and metallic. Acidic and a lot of carbonation. Better than some.

A nice pale. Good hop profile...nice aroma of citrus and flavor of citrus/floral. Malt background is nice, although could have a bit more of a biscuit presence.

Pours a hazy yellow colour with a very thick creamy white head. Nose is a tiny bit soapy (The glass has never seen a drop of detergent either.) with plenty of hop presence. Mainly citrus, but with a little bit of resin. In the mouth the soapiness comes out as a bit more yeasty than soapy. Still lots of hop flavour present in the flavour though. A little bit more pine and resin in the mouth than in the nose, but still some citrus there too. It’s a bit malty in the back, but it doesn’t stand out much, it’s definitely balanced a little more towards the hops. Carbonation is pretty high, but suiting, and not sharp. It’s not exactly creamy, but that wouldn’t fit with the style too well anyway. Nice beer.

This was very hoppy, but well balanced. Nice biscuit flavor that compliments the cascades. It is very hoppy, but easy to drink. I really liked the liberty ale!

Crushed with Jakebra. Yummy, citrusy, balanced malt and hop nose and flavor. Fruitiness gets rotten in the finish and makes it not as refreshing as it should. Still excellent.

From a 22 oz bottle purchased locally. Aroma is citrusy lemon/orange, Orange gold in color with a one-inch white head. Flavor is lemony and a little oxidized. No complexity to the malt. Flat body and lacks richness. This is a bad bottle. I’ve had this beer before and I know it’s much better.
