The difference in the two beer’s tastes is tremendous but the attention to detail and crisp beer tenderness is a common trait between the two ales– these brewers clearly don’t cut corners. [...] […] This is definitely a sipping beer for a winter’s night, much unlike Anchor’s Liberty nectar.

The Gaelic imparts a well balanced clean malt taste that has hints of hops and a pleasant clean finish. I noted that there are few bubbles in the body and I was particularly impressed with the slick finish of this beer; however, I will say that this particular beer lacks the distinctiveness of their Tasgall. That’s not to say this isn’t a beer worthy of a snob’s notice, it’s just that this isn’t something you’ll find yourself asking for if there is, say, a Liberty Ale on tap.

The taste was simply awesome- a light citrus hoppiness balanced by subtle caramel malts, followed by a wonderful light bitter finish. This was a beer of Liberty Ale proportions and the frustrating part is that this is a hard beer to find on the east coast!

The Ridgeway Bitter from the Ridgeway Brewery is an incredibly good beer that bursts with a floral hoppy flavor that is highly reminiscent of the laudable Liberty Ale from Anchor Steam.

The taste was incredibly crisp and refreshing with smooth hints of hops and citrus. The finish was highly complementary with a smoothness that reminds me of the nectars produced by the Anchor Brewing Company. This is a highly impressive showing- the IPA is worthy of a tasting any day.
