Tap at Smoke and Barrel in Adam’s Morgan. Pours a hazy, deep amber with small foam. Nose is sweet malt with assertive orange. Taste is malt forward, heavy biscuit, grain, mild diacetyl, finishing metallic with a lager "sting" and sharper, astringent hoppiness.

Cask. As far as California Commons go this one is tits. Unclear orange with a thin white head. Great fresh grainy malty base with crisp flowery and grassy hops. Lighter piney and citric notes as well. Very well balanced and extremely drinkable, and at 4.5% ABV, sessionable. Good stuff.

Cask. Murky orange brown color, medium large bubble head. Aroma of earth and sand, straw. Taste is artisan bread and lemon drops. Very nice example of an uncommonly seen common.

Serving: Draft at the brewery. It pours a slightly hazy amber gold with a small head. The nose is light and has a touch of fruitiness. The flavor has a nice mix of malt, a very light fruitiness (pear maybe), and a slightly earthy bitterness. Crisp and pretty clean on the back end. Definitely more grain and hop presence than an Anchor Steam and perhaps a little more body too. That’s not a bad thing and I rather liked this one.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft from the brewery. Poured a translucent, slightly golden yellow color with a bubbly white head. Aroma is malt sweetness, crisp. Highly drinkable. Let’s see how the growler is tomorrow.
