12 oz. bottle thanks to Chalumeaux, thanks for the gift! Is this anything like Anchor Steam beer?? Hard to know because I have had not sampled Anchor since 2010. Aroma has a slight mineral water and weak citrus hop nose.
Flavor has a bready malt base with earthy hop bitterness. The body is very lean and texture is dry. Bitterness gets a touch abrasive. So they are going for a hopped up steam beer?? I think this brew has an identity crisis. I guess the brewer did reach the goal of a new aged Cali Common?

Clear golden coloured body with the slightest bit of haze and a nice, thinnish two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of very nice and fragrant tropical fruit and citrus hops with a smooth but noticeable malt essence. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal flavour at first with a good kick of the hops, but shows some malt elements, a touch of effervescence from the yeast and a good complex herbal and spice characteristic at the end. Aftertaste is nice and complex, especially for a lager, with some very fresh hop notes throughout. Overall, a nice and subdued beer that still shows a lot of flavour and especially complexity, for a lager. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Wegman’s in Alexandria, Virginia on 03-May-2016 for US$1,67 sampled at home in Washington on 18-May-2016.
