The second of the month’s duo comes from Anchor Brewing. And the difference is clear, at least according to this helpful chart…
Liberty Ale – has a lovely dark orange color. Got some heat to it too. Some orange peel notes in the taste close to orange pekoe in the aroma. Liberty is quite zippy and quite dank. Almost close to being a session barleywine.
Liberty IPA – On the fence with this new Liberty. Not super digging it. The aroma is a bit harsh and medicinal to me. Has bitternesss to spare but the taste gets worse as it warns up. Some minor tropical notes in the background. Hint of guava and pineapple that the IBU’s quickly supercede.
