Dust Bowl Hops of Wrath: 17

Taste: 5 Finish: 4 Visual: 3 Aroma: 5 Total: 17 Creamy head with lacing. Color is a bit too clear. Aroma is huge with grapefruit. Flavor is muted. Not the hop bite I was expecting. Some pine and grapefruit. Finish is smooth. Not what you want. It's like an IPA light. Disapointing.

Anchor Liberty Ale: 22

Taste: 6  Finish: 8 Visual: 4  Aroma: 4
Total: 22

It's been a while! It has a nice hops and citrus/lemon aroma. Big head with good lacing. The color is a lightly hazed amber. Really good flavor. It's very "round". Just enough hops to know they're there. A moderate amount of lemon peel. It's got a bit of fizz from the carbonation to round it out in the back. A very solid pale ale.
