Contrary to popular belief this is NOT a California Common/hybrid beer but a Kentucky Common, a type of Cream Ale Amber, small beige head. Pleasant toasty nose and palate. Nutty, earthy notes with medium strength lasting bitterness

473ml can. Pours a clear amber copper with a small, creamy, short lived, off-white head that laces nicely. Mild sweet aroma of toasted caramel malt and floral hops. Sweet flavour of grainy caramel malt, honey and grassy hops in a dry, bitter finish. Light body with a sticky texture and average carbonation. A little sweet, but enjoyable.
