Best Of Beer Camp: California Common - Beer Camp #8
The dense white head was about a third of an inch thick and had good retention. The beer was perfectly clear, had a lot of carbonation and the beer left an ideal lacing. The bodys color was pale gold. The mild aroma was a blend of pale caramel malts and herbal hops. The hops were right up front on the palate with peppery herbal notes. There was a dry, toasted malt back bone to this beer, which brought a nice balance to the beer. The aftertaste was hard to put my finger on; it was kind of like peppery toast. I will admit that I do not often drink California commons, so I really did not know how to respond to this beer. Sierra Nevada Beer Camp California Common was good, but I am not sure if I would return to it.
