Original rating: 9/13/15. From HyVee in Bettendorf. This has a nice light Pilsner color... actually, it’s a little more brassy than that. Quite clear, too, for an unfiltered beer. The smell is that slightly malty beer smell that we’ve all been used to before we discovered that there are different kinds of beers. I like to call that it the "bowling alley" beer smell. Taste does not really show the northwestern hops of a California Common; it has a little bit of corn adjunct taste to it, but that ends up not standing in the way of a good layer brewer profile. If the brewers themselves had not called it a California Common, I would have just said it was a regular American Pilsner/Lager. Addendum, 4/15/16: No change in opinion, just a note that I opened a bottle that gushered on me. I guess if this is unfiltered, there will still be some yeast at work. So lesson to me: drink more of it while it’s fresh.

Bottle. Lightly lactic corn and barley malt aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Sweet corn, barley malt, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Decent body. Okay.

12 oz bottle poured into a tulip pint glass. Bottle date of July 13, 2015. Clear golden yellow with half a finger of off-white head. Aromas of malt, citrus, a bit of wheat. Tastes of malt, citrus, light caramel, wheat. Medium-light body with a crisp dry finish. Nice easy drinker.

12 oz. bottle; Thanks Santa! Pale gold color, with a medium, off-white, bubbly head. The nose is strong esters (bubblegum and overripe apples) that smack you from a couple feet away, sourdough bread, and some light mustiness. Sweet and malty flavor, with a good touch of hop bitterness. Light to medium body, syrupy, lightly carbonated, and a little clingy. This is what a lager ought to be! Light, drinkable, smooth, and yet somehow still assertive and complex.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle from shrubber85 poured into a glass. Slightly hazy pale yellow with small white head. Aroma is light grain, light body, low carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is light grain and some fruit.
