Lagunitas The Censored (6.75% ABV) is described as a “Rich Copper Ale” and is an American Amber / Red Ale and The Censored pours a beautiful copper color this is a malty beer and it has some nice bitterness with it. I enjoyed this one and Lagunitas is a great brewer. The web description of The Censored is, “The original name of this original ale was originally derived from an origin so heinous that we cannot reveal its aboriginal oregeny. sorry. Actually, it's an easy drinking malty Copper Ale that goes easy on the hops. Whatever.” Side note – Chronic is slang for Marijuana – I am not sure if this is what they are referring to.
Anchor Liberty Ale (5.9% ABV) and was first brewed to commemorate the bicentennial of Paul Revere’s famous ride. Liberty Ale pours golden with a large head. This is another tasty beverage from Anchor. Anchor is a great brewer and I really appreciate them leading the craft beer revolution. The web description of Liberty Ale – “First introduced in 1975, Liberty Ale® is brewed strictly according to traditional brewing methods, and, like all Anchor Brewing Company products, uses only natural ingredients — water, malted barley, fresh whole hops and yeast. A special top-fermenting ale yeast is used during fermentation and is responsible for many of Liberty Ale's subtle flavors and characteristics. Carbonation is produced by an entirely natural process called "bunging," which produces champagne-like bubbles. Dry-hopping (adding fresh hops to the brew during aging), imparts a unique aroma to the ale. It is a process rarely used in this country today.” Note – There are a number of brewers that use the dry-hopping technique today. These are the craft brewers and I do not know if any of the macro-brewers use this technique.
