Review: After doing some preliminary research online (ha! "research" that's funny! cite my sources... "google"), I've come to develop the theory that most beer lovers have bad taste. I make this assessment based on the fact that most people who comment on Anchor Brewery's Liberty Ale seem to like the stuff.

Liberty Ale is much like the definition of the word "liberty" itself. There is a lot of argument over what liberty actually means just like there is a lot of internal argument over what kind of beer this brew is trying to be. As far as I can tell, it is a golden amber ale with pale tendencies and a pipe dream of becoming a full blown belgian fruit beer when it grows up.

To me, it tastes like the beer equivalent of mixing all of the sodas at a self-serve fountain together, then putting a bit of slushie in the mix to gross it up some more.

Such a dissapointment from a brewery that makes other fine beers (Anchor Steam). With that kind of attitude, Liberty Ale, you'll never grow up. Time to retire, if you ask me.
