Tap @ Duque, Lisbon. Pours a lightly misty gold, frothy white topping. Aroma presents a floral yeasty sweetness. Taste seems almost hefe-like with some banana cream notes, not off-putting, but not fitting with its billing as a California Common and possibly due to fermentation issues.

Clear golden colour with lasting head. Aroma and flavour have light yeast and a little fruitiness. Softer and less bitter than a Pilsener. Light carbonation. Pleasant.
