COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
It’s not a unique idea, but one that everyone on the Central Coast understands… Call something “805” and it means local. As a regional craft brewer we have always known that the closer the beer is to where it was brewed, the fresher it is. In fact since 1996 our brewery has been built on fresh, local beers for the Central Coast…. so we created a beer just for our locals in the “805”. Hope you like it… FW

beertholomeus (70) - California, USA - APR 17, 2013
Pours pale yellow color with foamy white head. Grain and fruit aromas. Some malt flavofr, even less in hops. Grain and fruit flavors as well. Crisp and refreshing and quite easy to drink.

dagimp (597) - Philly, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 15, 2013
From a 12 oz into a pint glass. Pours a very medium straw. Not much aroma. Mouthfeel is light-medium. Taste is sweet. Meh, this is really a decent, bland, OK, not-bad, mediocre, inoffensive beer. If you want a good, easy drinking beer, there are a lot better ones.

jsmerig (798) - Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 30, 2013
Pours a pale orange yellow. Aroma of grainy sweetness. Taste is honey sweet at the start. Slight dryness from the hops but finishes with a nice subtle sweetness. Most people like hops in your face, but I feel it takes more skill to brew a beer with more subtle yet complex notes. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

mtwhitney (115) - Maui, Hawaii, USA - MAR 25, 2013
Not bad, but what’s the point? I guess every brewery has to have its easy- sipping beach beer. One that your girlfriend or wife (or both) would enjoy. But that is why Corona exists.

beersearcher (1950) - Glendale, California, USA - MAR 4, 2013
Pours a bright yellow with orange tints. Very bright on the palate with a touch off sweetness. A really nice beer to start an evening off with.

deyholla (4782) - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA - MAR 2, 2013
Bottle thanks to Mike! ours a clear gold with a near white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has a good amount of sweet grain and bread with a hint of light fruits. Flavor has a similar sweet grain note with a bit of grass and light fruit.
