Commercial Description:
A unique twist on the California common beers, or steam beer. Brewed with lager yeast at ale temperatures and then cold conditioned, to accentuate the ingredients. Subtley sweet maltiness with a hint of caramel, combined with a lingering hop aroma make this session beer anything but ordinary! Season: all Color: deep gold/light copper

Cask at GBBF. Golden with a small white head. Aroma of citrus and grass. Dry citrus hoppy flavour with some yeasty notes. Nice hoppy finish.

A Mes rate. Gravicask at GBBF.
Semi cloudy orange amber colour. Quite fruity. Some peach and an unusual strawberry note. The malt is ok, the hops are ok too but a little too faint. A strange one but not an epic one.

At GBBF 2009. Odd kiwi fruit/strawberry flavour. Dirty somehow, earthy, strawberry. Just not quite right somehow.

On the second day at the GBBF, I continued drinking from the USA bar. This one, presented in the BSF program as Lowell Beer Works, was poured from gravity cask into my one-third pint glass and revealed a slightly hazy, orange coloured body. Smell of fruity malts. Taste of herbal hops and late fruity sweetness. Lightly bittersweet finish. Ordinary (London, 05.08.2009).

Cask, GBBF 09. Cloudy amber with a small head. aromas are toast with peppery notes and spices. Flavours are malty with citrus and yeast. Caramel and biscuit with a light dry finish. A bit boring but OK.

Cask Conditioned Gravity Dispense GBBF 09. A copper coloured beer with a bit of kiwi in the aroma. Some bitterness in the mouth together with a touch of pineapple. A whole heap of nothingness really.
