Brewer's Description:

First introduced in 1975, Liberty Ale® is brewed strictly according to traditional brewing methods, and, like all Anchor Brewing Company products, uses only natural ingredients — water, malted barley, fresh whole hops and yeast.

Give me Liberty A special top-fermenting ale yeast is used during fermentation and is responsible for many of Liberty Ale's subtle flavors and characteristics. Carbonation is produced by an entirely natural process called "bunging," which produces champagne-like bubbles. Dry-hopping (adding fresh hops to the brew during aging), imparts a unique aroma to the ale. It is a process rarely used in this country today.

Appearance:Light amber in color. A little cloudy. Poured a nice head. Retained it shortly. No bubbles rising while it sits on the counter.
Aroma:Very mild smell. Hard to pick up anything at all. Maybe citrus?
Taste:Definite hop flavor. Not too strong. I like this flavor. Not sweet. Maybe a little bitter. Good overall.
Mouth Feel:Very good feel. Carbonation is good. Once it’s released, the beer is smooth.
Drinkability:Very drinkable. I like Liberty a lot. One of my favorites so far.
Score:7 / 10
