Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Anchor Liberty Ale if you want a more assertive, citrus-forward pale ale with backbone;
Sudden Death Green Screen if you want something smoother and easier-drinking.
Both sit at the same IBU level (35), but Liberty punches harder with that extra 0.7% ABV and a more pronounced hop character. Liberty's the one that lingers; Green Screen is the one you reach for again without thinking.

Anchor Liberty Ale
Liberty Ale hits you with immediate grapefruit and pine—those Cascade hops are doing real work here. There's a slight resinous bite that builds as you drink, but it never gets harsh. The malt backbone is there, giving it enough body to feel substantial without being heavy. This is a beer that tastes like it has conviction.
Sudden Death Green Screen
Green Screen is considerably softer. The hops are present but polite—herbal, a touch of citrus, but it doesn't demand your attention. The lower ABV makes it feel lighter on your tongue, almost delicate. There's a clean, quick finish that makes you want another sip immediately. It's the beer equivalent of a good conversation that flows naturally.
