A pretty good lager that has a pretty good taste. A good buy for the price.

Decent malty taste. I have no idea what a California Common is supposed to taste like but if this is it I like the style. I would probably buy again.

On tap @ Beer Fest, New Orleans. Pors deep Auburn color. Big malt flavor. Pour was a bit flat as were most of the beers here. Blah. Malt bomb. pretty basic & boring

Bottle. Aroma, slightly malty, slightly caramal. Color, nice dark copper. Taste, malt, brown sugar with a nice hoppy finish. Recommend it.

Bottle: Pours a clear amber color with an off white head. Aroma, caramel malts, earthy and grassy hop notes. Flavor, grassy and herbal notes, caramel and toffee in the background. Not bad.

I’ve always liked this one, glassey amber hue with a caramel type of nose, Great job on the malt in the one, wow. the hops creeped up at the end ushering a bright clean finish, nice amber and as always the sickest labels~

Pours an amber color with little to no head. Malty aroma with a sweet carmel taste. Just a small amount of hops right before the aftertaste. Thin to medium bodied. A very average beer.

Bottled at Bishops Arms Vasagatan, Stockholm. Pours out in a clear amber colour with a low frothy off-white foam. Clean aroma of caramel, mild fudge, brown sugar with a small hint of citrousy hops. medium-bodied with a clean and rather one-dimensional flavour of caramel, crystal malts and brown sugar. Low on hops. Clean and malty sweet finish caramel.
