Nodding Head California Common

sparkling and inviting, grapefruit and lychee aroma as well as a hint of baking soda. reasonably bitter with a hint of stewed apples, good stuff

This is a full amber with a head that sticks to the glass. At first, I thought there was something odd in the aroma. The longer I drank the beer the more I realized that it was just the American grapefruit hops this beer is laced with. I’m not used to that hop profile in a lager and often American hops clash with the lager flavors, but this worked. This is an interesting lager that’s hopped like an average APA.

Very excellent offering of the California common style beers, this definitely ranks right up there with some of the CA styles that Anchor brews
