Welcome back to The Eternal Hoptimists and our latest review.
A beer created in the style of the San Francisco so called ‘steam beer’. It’s an amber ale but fermented with lager yeast that aims to be smooth with only medium bitterness.
- Name : California Common West Coast Amber Ale
- Brewery: Roosters Brewing Co, Harrogate
- Hops : Not specified
- Grain : Malted barley and wheat
- Aroma : Stone fruits and a hint of yeast
- Appearance : Amber with a slight haze and a briefly lasting white head
- Body : Full bodied, medium carbonated but little head retention
- Taste : Surprisingly malty, with a soft caramel sweetness. Some light fruitiness from the hops, but only slightly bitter. A smooth mellow finish and a malty aftertaste
- Dietary restrictions : Allergens highlighted and vegan friendly
This beer falls into the easy drinking category, but is far from bland, its smooth and goes down a treat. Just the kind of beer I would be happy to drink all night!
It’s beautifully balanced, adding caramel sweetness to the mellow fruitiness of the hops that never becomes too bitter or overpowering.
Our overall rating: 3.6/ 5.0
