Beer Fridays XII

Anchor Brewing Company's Liberty Ale basically tastes like yeast, astringent, and a slice of banana. It seems like it's trying to be an IPA, yet is dominated by its grain and malt flavor. It is highly carbonated, but its consistency is bread-like and somewhat toasty. It is a golden amber color with a pillowy head and contains the slightest hint of citrus and an abundance of wheat. It's kind of like that girl you hooked up with once when you were drunk and call every once in a while in case you get desperate. Bless her heart, she tries hard, but there's only so much she can do with what she's got. (C)
