Gimme Liberty or blah, blah, blah, insert cliché here


Beer: Liberty Ale

Chosen By: Ashleigh

Ashleigh:

Sticker shock was the first thing that hit me. $11.00 for a six pack of this seemingly normal looking ale. But after cracking open the bottle, I discovered why.

If Sierra Nevada ever decided to shape up and become a decent brewery and remove the horrid aftertaste of their Pale Ale, this is what they would make. (Does anybody else taste metal when they drink Sierra Nevada or is it just me.)

Liberty Ale is hoppy but comes off fairly smooth. I could see myself skipping some work this spring, sitting outside and enjoying a few of these. I give this one a big shout out for pale ales. Good times. Around a 7.5 out of 10.

Robby:

Great bottle. Hoppy. Packed with flavor. If Sierra Nevada had a long lost twin, this would be it. An excellent beer overall, but next time I would go with the less expensive alternative, Sierra Nevada.

Keith:

Very hoppy, but not an offending hoppy. Good flavor, crisp and dry. Has some body to it, but not too filling. I like this beer but like it even better when its cheaper and says Sierra Nevada on the label. Scale of 1 to 10, it gets a solid 8.
