Holy cow, I was not expecting to see this bad boy in Massachusetts. Hazy amber, thick tan head, solid lacing. Aroma of subtle brown bread. Taste is dry rye bread, brown sugar, but dry rather than sweet. My last Californua Common was a couple days ago, Port City Derecho. This one is much better.

Draft (growler). Banana/orange and smokey wheat malt aroma. Cloudy golden yellow color with large head. Sweet banana, smoked ham, and wheat malt flavor. Finishes a bit light. Really like this blending - very tasty. (Tasted again Oct 6 - less smoke and stronger weizen characteristics)
