Cask at the Great British Beer Festival 2013. Poured a slightly hazy dark golden with a moderate white head. Aroma of sharp citrus and tropical fruit. Initial flavours of juicy fruit, which then fade to almost nothing until the bitter resin hops come in on the palate.

GBBF Day 3. Light haze on this amber beer. Good fluffy pale cream coloured head. Smooth palate, semi dry. Spicy marmalade hops, pretty bitter. Finishes smooth with a spice bitter linger. Nice mouthfeel.

Total Wine, Fairfax 12oz: Pours gold with a white head. Aroma is lightly citrus, some grass, and malty backbone. Taste is a little hoppy. Nice citrus and weed flavors in there. Amarillo hops make this a little bit different from any other California Common I’ve had. Interesting.

On cask at Meridian Pint. Pours a very hazy bright, neon yellow with some cloudy white head. Nose is really odd, tons of fresh green chile pepper, raw red bell pepper, some peppercorn, soap. Doesn’t smell one bit like beer. Flavor is prickly and peppery, herbal. Slick and prickly finish. Very strange.

Gravity cask. Cloudy chalky yellow color. Aroma of soapy chili peppers, black pepper. Taste is a bit papery, fruity, but not in a pleasant combo.

Cask at Meridian Pint. Poured a cloudy yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was almost a pretty spicy note (must be ginseng). Flavor was spice, some light fruits. A strange, but interesting brew variation.

Bottle. Pours clear orange amber with a small beige head that diminishes quickly and leaves some lacing. Aroma is caramel, malt, grass, and a touch of metal. Flavor is the same, plus toffee, perhaps anise, medium sweet and lightly bitter, with a nutty ranging to metallic finish. Medium body.
