#68 Anchor - Liberty Ale


This is the last Anchor beer I currently have. I will be searching for more.

This beer has a strong smell of hops, very floral, reminds me of summer time. I am getting a little chalky, dust smell from this Ale. The color is a reddish straw with a light haze. The foam is very thick and bubbles are still coming up from the bottom. This thick head seems to be a standard thing with Anchor beers.

This beer has a bitter almost sour flavor. I am only getting a little bit sweetness from this beer, but the bitterness and sour taste is strong, it reminds me of lemon aid, but just a little. This ale has a great mouthfeel, lots of foam making it nice and full. The bubbles in this beer arn't harsh like in some highly carbonated, beer they are small bubble a lot like the Anchor Steam.

This is a fine beer. The taste is a little odd, but still good. I enjoyed the other Anchor's more but they all seem to have a similar taste. The large quantity of bubbles makes me think Anchor is using a unique yeast or unique carbonation method. All the beers have had fruity hop notes. I've enjoyed these Anchor beers.
