This is the July selection in Elevator’s "MBA" program, and coincidentally the last one I had to have to earn my Masters of Beer Appreciation! The beer is a pale golden color with tiny bubbles and a thin white head with decent retention. Light hops and malt aroma. Light-bodied and effervescent with light and zesty citrus and hops flavors. The finish is mildly sweet malt with a touch of hops. Decent summer brew that is pretty good for the style.

This is the August selection in Elevator’s "MBA" program. It’s a pretty decent stab at the California Common style. Light copper color with a thin cream-colored head that never quite went away. Thin lacing. Lightly floral hops aroma. Light and crisp body with mild hops flavor, as well as some herbs and fruit. The finish is clean and mildly bitter. A nice late summer session beer.
