Draught at Bitter Tasting Room, Vancouver
Cloudy deep blond color with generous creamy head. Mild aroma: malt, hops, butter (very light). Lean pale malt base, dry, a bit creamy, with substantial bitterness, moderate hop qualities (more hard resins, very light fruitiness), with a light piquant touch, spicy, but also a light trace of butter.
Light diacetyl aside, it’s a quite good, although rustic, beer.

Blond color, compact head. The aroma is lightly grassy. The mouthfeel is dry, a bit crispy, but the malt flavor is rather simple, there is some grassy quality from the hop, but the final pithy bitterness is not very pleasant.
Clean beer, needs a bit of adjustment with the hops.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Dark amber color, clean, with beige compact head. Caramel based beer, sweetish, with bits of vanilla and fudge that become obnoxious; full bodied, powerful.
It’s just a bold beer, clean, but the weirdness of the cookies is unnecessary.

Beautiful, bright light amber color with small creamy head. The aroma is delicate. The flavor is more pronounced than any other California Common, a lot of cereal husk character (and a bit weird thus), dry mouthfeel, but it has some residual sweetness; unfortunately the bitterness is too strong, with a chicory character in the final.
Not bad, and have to admit that it’s a clean beer, but it’s flawed. And why local breweries insist brewing California Common???

Draft - Light caramel and vegetal notes. Clear copper with a decent white head. Grainy with some vegetal notes. Not good.
