California Uncommon, is at heart, an alcohol free American malt liquor. Yes, that much maligned style, gets not only, a caring wholesome craft brew, but also, it's alcohol free!
Quite the punch line, alcohol free malt liquor.
So what is it like?
Not quite a steam beer, not quite a lager, but distinctly NOT another darn IPA, plenty of great ones on the market. So don't expect modern craft hop profiles.
Minty and woody hop profiles, cereal, caramel, unique honey malt is distinctive and far from malt based drinks like, say super malt.
Designed to be refreshing and session based, one of the key design considerations was, that you could drink 4 at a bbq, but a satisfying body and burn.
This is totally different, uncompromising and, for us, exciting. Mid carbonation, low filtration. We set out to make something like nothing else on the market.

11th May 2022 Can. Almost clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin malts bring a modest sweetness. Light lager tang. Modest ripe orangey hops with a decent crisp pine overlay. Light crisp finish. Not bad, doesn't have the mouthfeel of Stoop for instance, it's immediately obvious that this is a low alcohol job, still, quite drinkable.
