A cali common with a fine fruity aroma and a crisp flavour with notes of caramel and hops. OK, but not that fantastic.

Orange-brown color with a thin layer of off white head that dissipates immediately. Sweet caramel malt aroma, light carbonation and sweet malty tastes. Bready body.

Bottle@home Apperance: Amber with a decent sized beige head. Aroma: Malt, Caramel, Floral hops, Bread. Very malty nose! Flavor: Citric notes, Pine, Grain, Grass, Caramel. Nice bitterness for a lager! Palate: Some malt upfront that ends with a good bitterness. Lots of carbonation. A nice lager with more bitterness than i expected from it. This would make a good sessionbeer. Worth a try!

Malty and metallic and not particularly well balanced or tasty. Very bland and with nothing special going on in the slightest. Lame.
