Commercial Description:
This West Coast style beer is brewed at ale temperatures with a lager yeast. This beer is moderately malty with a pronounced hop bitterness. The malt character is toasty with caramel notes. The moderate woodiness of the Northern Brewer hops shines through. This is a true original American style. Shallow open rooftop fermenters were traditionally used to compensate for the absence of refrigeration and to take advantage of the cool ambient temperatures in the San Francisco Bay area. Steam rising from these coolships gave California Common it's now trademarked nickname - steam beer.

Draft at the Harrisburg brewery, second day of the keg, very fresh. Dark, hazy rusty orange and amber brown in color, with a solid tan head. Nose of faint fruity yeast esters, red apple, oranges and crackers. Fresh, frothy, crunchy, estery, with a bready apple bake abd biscuit malt flavor, and a light sharpness on the tongue. Snappy and dry like saltine crackers in the finish. Interesting, and one of the better beers by Appalachian, and it doesn’t have their typical watery thin texture.

brown colour, doesn’t have much of an initial taste, but has a strong aftertaste of barly/malt. easy drinking, but not the best.
