rayOfBeer (265), El Cerrito, California, USA Apr 20, 2008 Poured at FIrkin Fest at Triple Rock, golden with small white head. Aromas of mild grass and malted grain. The flavor is a kind of toasted malt with some grassy, and fruity malt notes. More of a hop bite to it than Anchor Steam, but very mild. There is a malty full mouthfeel that has some slight astringent notes in the middle but a nice dry clean finish. Easy drinking beer. I’ll be trying it again. Davecooks (1150), Bay Area, California, USA Jan 30, 2008 Draft. Clear, light copper color with white lacing but no head. Straight-forward sweet malt aroma with a nice floral hoppiness. Fruity malt flavor. Very hop forward and bitter. This is my first Linden Street beer; I like it. beerguy101 (3488), Newark, California, USA Jan 8, 2008 This California Common pours a medium orange gold from tap. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is malty and sweet, with a touch of floral hops. A medium bodied steam beer. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are grapefruity and floral. It very hoppy for a California Common, but I like it. It still has that nice soft round feel of a steam beer, but has a nice hop bite to it. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
