Thwaites, Liberation Ale (England) 
Released in bottle in 2004 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of "D-Day", with 10 pence from each sale going to the British Legion charity, Liberation is a dark gold/red ale with a short-lived, off-white head. The nose is very fruity and gently malty, with a nice undercurrent of leafy Goldings hops. On the palate this is a creamy-textured, luscious beer with a big red fruit flavour, a little sweet suggestion, and some malty, biscuity character. There's a good acid balance, with some crispness and freshness in the finish. 5.2% ABV, 50cl, �1.69, Fine Ale Club, Beersofeurope, Peckhams.  |  |
