COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular.
A well balanced golden coloured ale, easy drinking and refreshing.
Named after a local coal mine, California is an extremely clean drinking golden coloured ale with a zesty and fruity aroma. Brewed with gently-kilned malts and an aromatic blend of American hops, this 3.8% beer has exceptional poise. Its distinct hop flavour leads to a refreshing and dry finish.
California has firmly established itself as All Gates Flagship Beer; winner of Bitter Category Leicester Beer Festival 2009 as ’Groundhop Day’.

EFC1878 (315) - Manchester, Greater Manchester, ENGLAND - JUN 22, 2009
Guest at the Friendship, Fallowfield. Pale golden colour with lasting white head. Very attractive to look at. Aroma was hoppy citrus (possibly Challenger) and a malty sweetness. Strong grapefruit flavour with a slight sweetness leading to a decent bitter finish. The lightness of the palate makes it an ideal summer beer.
