Draft. Pours a clear amber color with a small white head. The aroma is mildly fruity, caramel toasted bread, a hint of honey and mild spices. The flavor is clean toasted bread, caramel, light fruit notes, hints of spicy hops and grass. Decent.

On tap. Labeled as a "steam beer". Mostly clear amber - orange color. Thin off-white head. Just a little loose bits of lace. Medium body. Smooth, soft carbonation. More dry finish. Lightly fruity flavor, some bread. Sort of a crisp, light citrusy, light tropical flavor. Light bitter taste, little sweet, nothing too strong in the taste, but nothing bothersome. Solid example of the style. I’m starting to figure out what a California Common is supposed to taste like. Like this brew, pretty much.

Draft to taster at Dutch’s. Looks good for the style; a mostly transparent brownish-orange with off-white lacing. Smells malty and lightly hoppy. Tastes like it smells with average mouthfeel. Not bad.

Draft. Rich amber beer with a big cream head. Light caramel and light spice aroma. Spice and light citrus flavor with light grain. Medium bodied. Spice and light citrus linger with light cereal/grain.

On tap @ Farmhouse. Light amber body, medium white head. Lightly spicy and rustic yeasty character, light citrus. Like a Saison-light if that makes sense. Hmmmm, could I use the word "light" more in a rating?

Pours a dark moderately hazy orange with a faint white lacing.. Heavy wheat aroma. Moderately funky with a hint of fruitiness.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at Redlight. Amber color pour with a bubbly white head. Slightly sweet bread, green pepper and grainy malt notes on the aroma. Sweet clean and crisp flavor with a touch of a spicy hop character on the finish. Nice, drinkable beer.

A quality session beer, I guess you could say. Not too intense but some nice hoppiness. Nice.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at City Beer. Mild grain and mash sweet notes, dusty and mealy. Very light hop character in the nose. Dark golden amber clear with medium haze, topped with thin off-white creamy lacing head. Medium watery body with medium carbonation. Starts nutty and sweet, with light mash flavors, alcohol, and some mild astringent woody parts. Easy drinking, fairly well balanced with smooth nutty-sweet finish and after.
