Anchor Liberty Ale

Anchor Liberty Ale, US$8.99 a 6 pack, 6% ABV

Had this before- sweet malts, caramel and a bit of pine- lovely session beer tho a little rich. I like it quite alot- nice little bitter note at the end too. (Sometimes this tasted great and other times just OK- I bought a bottle home to share)
Wish it was readily available here - can get here for $30 (+ freight) for a 6 pack.
7.5+/10

Cloudy copper appearance with an nice fluffy head.
bit of sweet apricot on the nose.
ohhh i like this, a bit of sweet maltiness-the apricot is there but not to sharp
so, clean, fruity and malty.
This could be the pale ale i've been looking for, more citrusy than pine-y
really very drinkable and moreish. Fairly high alcohol level but i would totally have this for a session beer 100%.

Cost:$2 approx

Nice foamy white head
browny orange pour
malty nose
clean malty flavour, fairly strong roasted malt but not overpowering- just rich,
Nice and refreshing really
Not familiar with this style but basically just similar to a well made lager - this is more full flavoured than your run of the mill lager.....
Not at all heavy.
This would be a good session beer tho I might tire of the malty/ness.
