Commercial Description:
A unique twist on the California common beers, or steam beer. Brewed with lager yeast at ale temperatures and then cold conditioned, to accentuate the ingredients. Subtley sweet maltiness with a hint of caramel, combined with a lingering hop aroma make this session beer anything but ordinary! Season: all Color: deep gold/light copper

Tap at Fenway. Pours a medium to lgith copper- dull orange with a thin head. Aroma is light caramel malts, grassy and light pine hoppiness. Light nutty malty flavor, piney and resinous with an earthy almost catty hop character and an astringent -llike bitter finish with some corn meal aftertaste.

On tap at both Boston locations. Pours golden with a small white head. Nose is malty and clean. A little bit nutty and fruity flavor. Drinkable and on point with the style. Pretty good.

Had this one on draught at the brewpub on Canal Street, Boston, Massachusetts. Poured clear and medium amber with a nice, thick white head. Light, sweet malty nose with some fruitiness; nuanced maltiness continues in the flavor. This is quaffable in the extreme.

Tap at Canal Street Location: Completely lucid golden with a creamy white film for head. Subdued, mild lemon and a touch of grains in the nose. Light fruity esters in the flavor from the Ale yeast. Similiar to the aroma with light lemon and grain hints. Has a grassy finish. Simple.
