Best Of Beer Camp: California Common - Beer Camp #8
Bottle to pint glass. Appearance: Pours a crystal clear golden straw/ apple juice color with a creamy white head that is quick to fade. Tiny streams of carbonation throughout the glass. Smell: Notes of grains and a subtle caramel sweetness are prevalent. There is just the slightest hints of hops in the aroma. Taste: Very bold caramel sweetness with some bready notes as well. This is well balanced by a slight kick of hop bitterness and a good amount of booze. Grainy to bready aftertastes. Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, but a lot thicker mouthfeel than what the appearance hints at. Really nice smooth carbonation throughout. Finishes with a slight alcohol burn. Overall: This is a very bold and flavorful take on the California Common. Had much more flavor than I expected. Usually I'm not to fond of this style but I would definitely have a few more of these.
