look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 5

A- with a hard pour, 1in rocky bubbly off white foam formed atop a slightly hazy orange copper amber brew settling to 1/4in soapy disk that left lots of sticky lace and a few rising bubbles.

S- caramel malt, ripe fruit like citrus and berries and melon along with earthy woody maple and oak notes.

T- hops came out right away with some mineral water and burnt toast and biscuit. a very beer taste. not lager, definitely not ale, just BEER. good old beer. yeasty with roasted malt, all the while that musky hop bitterness weaves its way in and out toward an earthy piney dry hop aftertaste.

MF- dry crisp and refreshing with mid to high carbonation leaves the mouth feeling rather clean

D- the reason anchor steam beer and anchor liberty ale are the brewery's top national sellers is that they are extremely drinkable beers. smashin a sixer of each is no problem at all.

A: 1/2" white head over cloudy amber liquid.

S: grass, oranges, honey.

T: Honey, orange, grass, herbs.

M: medium viscosity and a medium level of fine carbonation.

O: very subtle, but not very exciting. I have a feeling I should be enjoying this beer more than I am because of its history. But then again, the Bavarian purity law is also a part of history and many unexciting beers as well.

4.18/5  rDev +7.7%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

Appearance: It was low carbonated and it had a small beige head. Copper coloured.
Smell: I didn't get that much of its smell but thought I caught some cherries.
Taste: It tasted a bit like toasted caramel and anything else I quite can figure out, but it excels at flavor.
Mouthfeel: It has a strong body, it kinda felt heavy in my mouth. At the end of the sip it was a little bit dry.
