This 'California Common'-style beer was first brewed during the California Gold Rush when cold fermentation for lager yeast was not readily available due to lack of refrigeration, resulting in a highly effervescent beer. It is a hybrid style fermented with lager yeast but at warmer ale temperatures, with amber color, medium body, caramel malt flavor and aroma, medium-high hop bitterness balanced with medium-low fruity esters, hop flavor and aroma and malt character. The Gold Rush may be over, but at least this beer style lives on.
