Iconic American IPA

I put in a large mixed order for me and friends for the Ryder cup weekend and this was one of the beers I chose. Everyone has to try this iconic beer along with the Anchor steam beer. The stubby bottles are cute and the beer has a nice hoppy quality, but possibly overly bitter to score higher for me. I probably prefer Steam over Liberty. (Posted on 31/05/2017)

Anchor-like but far from their best

Like many reviews, was a bit disappointed by this one. It's solid, and it has that recognisable Anchor taste to it, but their more popular beers are more popular for a reason. This one is just a touch flat and unexciting in its flavour profile. (Posted on 27/04/2017)

Love Anchor

Dank and resinous pine aromas with bold, citrus and grapefruit notes on the back end. Assertive bitterness with hints of light biscuit malt base and a smooth, dry finish. But you should really try it for yourself. 47 UBA (hops bitterness) resin, citrus, amber, hazy, frothy, medium sweetness, medium bitterness, medium sourness, medium body, creamy, (Posted on 24/03/2017)

Need to try this again

Ever so slightly disappointed by this one. For all it's reputation, it didn't really deliver. Suffered possibly from being drunk on the same evening as others I much prefer - Stone IPA, Foubders All Day, etc (Posted on 14/03/2017)

Anchor can do no wrong

Pours a hazy orange with a large off-white head, good lacing. The aroma is lightly malty and very lightly hoppy (floral, some citric fruits). Medium body with a low to medium carbonation and a light bitterness - balanced. The flavor is malty, dried fruits, green grapes with a hoppy bitter finish (Posted on 11/02/2017)

Average

Quite nice but not a patch on the Steam or California. (Posted on 31/01/2017)

Great ipa

Stone cold classic. Nearly as good as their porter. Buy it. (Posted on 06/01/2017)

Bitter caramel

I enjoyed this beer and was surprised by the negative comments. It didn't change my life but i enjoyed it none the less. It starts with hints of caramel had a bitter finish. Better american IPAs are available but this one is very drinkable. (Posted on 01/01/2017)

Would recommend

Best beer anchor have to offer. (Posted on 21/12/2016)

Pretty Good

Easily drinkable and well balanced. (Posted on 19/12/2016)

Good, but not great

A nice ale, but nothing special, not a patch on their steam beer. (Posted on 16/12/2016)

A great IPA from Anchor

A rich tasting IPA type beer with great use of hops to give it a distinctive flavour. Sharp flavours with hints of fruitiness making it a good winter drink. (Posted on 16/12/2016)

Nice....

Golden color with medium white head. Aroma: grapefruit, juicy, hint of candies. Taste: citrus, candies, earthiness, malt. Medium body, lively carbonated, dry finish. (Posted on 05/12/2016)

Hopped

Strong, hoppy, big bitter finish. Original Anchor steam probably better overall but this is worth a try (Posted on 04/12/2016)

Good taste

Good tasting IPA (Posted on 11/10/2016)

a little disappointing

quite crisp but not as citrus as expected, agree with previous comment re preference for Anchor Steam (Posted on 30/09/2016)

Enjoyable Beer

Better than the Steam for my money. Anchor make some really nice beers and this is another. Has a little bit more going for it in the way of hops than the Steam. (Posted on 15/08/2016)

Good but not great

This is a nice beer, but not outstanding - personally I prefer the steam beer (Posted on 31/07/2016)

OK

Malty and Hoppy, not quite my taste. (Posted on 23/06/2016)

Good simple beer

Better than the Anchor Steam beer in my opinion, easy to drink and enjoyable. More to it than Sierra Nevada as well (Posted on 18/06/2016)

not for me

a pleasant enough beer, but was expecting better. pretty average for in my opinion, but maybe just not to my taste. (Posted on 06/06/2016)

Amazingly smooth

Perfection. Pure and simple the nicest beer this brewery produces. Now my favourite beer. (Posted on 20/05/2016)

Taste as expected

Just what you would expect an IPA from Anchor to taste like. Malty and hoppy but with hints of spiciness and a bitter fruity aftertaste. A good example of this style of American brewing. (Posted on 13/05/2016)

Pleasant drink

The usual hoppiness to be expected from an IPA style beer. Bottled Anchor beers always have a slightly sharp and bitter edge in bottles compared to on draught and this is no exception. However it is the only way I can enjoy the brewery when not in the US and Liberty is a fine example of the beer type. (Posted on 10/05/2016)

Nice IPA type beer

A pleasant tasting beer with a rich malty taste with a fruity background and nice hoppiness to give it that special IPA flavour. (Posted on 08/05/2016)

Delicious beer

A delicious malty IPA type beer, with a great use of hops. (Posted on 29/04/2016)

Great

Crisp, hoppy, bitter, typical American. (Posted on 29/03/2016)

Really well rounded ipa

Top quality anchor beer again. Lovely fruit flavours with a nice, bitter finish. I like the 355ml as a bottle size as well. (Posted on 28/03/2016)

Odd one out?

Am I the odd one out here, I really like both hoppy IPAs and APAs from the UK, USA and elsewhere and enjoy the variety in them but this beer is just not very nice. There is zero nuance to the hops used here, just a blast or coppery bitterness. It does at least have a bit of malty depth to it and its not too fizzy but thats about it in terms of positives.

Maybe I got a bad bottle (dated 02/2017 so well in date)? (Posted on 26/03/2016)

A great American IPA

Just what I needed, a fresh clean IPA, rich amber colour, and nice hoppy flavour, goes down very well after a hard week (Posted on 19/03/2016)

This one hit the spot

After a long hard day at work I opened a bottle of Liberty ale. The moment the cap was off the hops came flooding out of the bottle bringing a smile to my weary face. This is a well hopped ale with a good depth of flavour and is a credit to Anchor. (Posted on 14/03/2016)

Excellent beer

I enjoyed this as much as the Steam beer. Hits the back of the throat very nicely! (Posted on 10/03/2016)

Up there with the best

A lively, zesty fruity nose, lots of floral hops. Naturally cloudy, lemon and grapefruit and also orange zest giving this American IPA a character all of its own. Drank this on 'Draft' in San Francisco and it was equally great. (Posted on 02/03/2016)

Nuanced

Surprising balance in this one (maybe I shouldn't be surprised - their Porter is a triumph) - it maintains that USA style of hoppiness, but not at the expense of balance with the malt backbone. A bit of a classic. (Posted on 13/02/2016)

Tiptop

Lovely taste no nasty aftertaste
really enjoyed this ale will be ordering again (Posted on 22/12/2015)

Usual Anchor Excellence

A lovely little IPA, with plenty of floral and citrus influences. Could have been amped up a bit in terms of the ABV, but it's not a massive issue. (Posted on 08/11/2015)

Great IPA

The subtle flavours make Anchor beers a bit special and this is no exception.. A sharp hoppy beer that goes down easily. (Posted on 07/11/2015)

Rich and hoppy

A fruity and malty beer with the level of hoppiness you expect from an American IPA. Another great beer from Anchor. (Posted on 17/10/2015)

Tasty

A lovely little fruity iPa... But not one I would purchase often... I prefer a strong hoppy iPa (Posted on 21/08/2015)

Not as good as I was expecting

Hoppy but almost sweaty aroma...like if someone had stuck a bunch of hops under their armpit. Carries on in the taste with big bitterness.

More fruity hop and less sweaty when it's super chilled. Big bitterness still present but less flavour...which is both a good and bad thing. (Posted on 14/05/2015)

Anchor supreme

Easily one of my favourite beers to come out of the states. The taste has exceptional depth of sweetish caramel malt and other herbal hops. The finish is long, clean and bittersweet. This is one of my favourite beers available on beer hawk (Posted on 21/04/2015)

Super beer

This is loved by my sons, I love the citrus tones (Posted on 12/04/2015)

A classic

This is a classic. However, it comes up against stiff competition from Founders brews and its stablemate Steam. Personally, I prefer Steam and Centennial from Founders but this is still a cracking brew (Posted on 14/03/2015)

Classic Craft IPA

One of the original citrus-hopped, fruity Craft IPA's said to have had a helping hand in kick-starting the craft beer revolution in the late 70's. What's not to love? (Posted on 08/02/2015)

Lovely

A nice fruity little beer but like some other reviews I prefer the Anchor Steam beer. Would still earn a place in the fridge! (Posted on 06/02/2015)

great ipa but not the best

Great hoppy taste but fairly bitter. I personally prefer anchor steam beer but that doesnt mean this beer is sub par (Posted on 23/01/2015)

Takes no Liberties

I bought this as part of the American Discovery mixed case. had some classics in it.

Clear straw yellow and orange. Aroma is citric, honey, malty chocolate. Taste is malty with slight hop and biscuit aftertaste. Hints of citrus flavors such as lemon and orange rind. Good carbonation, tickles the tongue. Low to medium body and slightly syrupy at the finish. Anchor Brewing Company do not disappoint with this one.

Decent but not exciting

A little too bitter for my taste. Fine as a one-off drink, but I wouldn't want to drink it too often. (Posted on 11/01/2015)

A classic

The names 'Anchor' and 'Steam' are synonymous in world brewing, but for me, Liberty Ale is the daddy. This is a wonderfully structured beer, with firm malt and layers of Cascade hop; not over-powering, not unbalanced, just right. The carbonation is entirely natural too, so it spritz and refreshing (not bloating like so many carbonated beers). There are much more powerful and pungent IPAs if you want them, but for me, this is elegant and pitched just right. A wonderful beer, a classic. (Posted on 09/01/2015)

Fab beer

Reminds me of californian holidays. Crisp hoppy taste (Posted on 08/01/2015)

Best of America

A unique beer that speaks to the best if American brewing. Full-bodied and richer than the usual run of the mill US APA's, this is a real treat. (Posted on 06/01/2015)

nice beer

it has all the aspects of an IPA fruity, floral and bitterness, but they are toned down. I drank it after the siren sound wave and i didn't think it was as good. i also have to agree with reviews above it is quite bubbly/carbonated (Posted on 15/12/2014)

Delicious!

A fruity little beer with that lovely American hop taste. (Posted on 07/12/2014)

A cracker

A cracker. My type of beer. Lively & tasty. A real treat!
Will buy & drink many more! (Posted on 18/11/2014)

Prefer Steam

Lovely but prefer the Anchor Steam (Posted on 27/08/2014)

Very British but with added fizz

Nice pale ale but fuzzier than English equivalents (Posted on 01/03/2014)

Superb...but is it as good as Sierra Nevada?

What a lovely beer. Very much my type of drink. It comes exceptionally close to beating my all time favourite US beer, Sierra Nevada, also stocked on this website. Close, but not quite (Posted on 06/09/2012)
