Eagle, Globe and Anchor Pale ale
This was a modified recipie that was supposed to be similar to Anchor Brewing Company's "Liberty" pale ale. I changed the hops
a little based on availabilty. I like my beers with good hoppy aroma and medium bitterness. I just bottled it today. A small
taste of the unconditioned beer shows a beer on the light color side for a pale ale, with good crisp hoppy taste and nose.
