Many West Coast brewers in the 19th Century had no ice, so they improvised an effervescent beer by brewing lager yeasts at higher than normal temperatures... Described as "refreshing drink much consumed by the laboring classes," it’s the inspiration for 1811 lager.

A decent lager that stands up well enough even head to head with their heavier stuff. Not up to par, per se, but hell...it's a lager. Clean, crisp, slightly sweeter malts than expected, but no real faults.

Pours a clear straw yellow - not inspiring, but at least the thick, fluffy white head is fairly persistent and leaves a little lacing. Aroma is malty, crisp and just a little fruity. Flavor is malty with a slightly sweet fruity underpinning and a little sharp and bitter tinniness; however, the flavor is mostly pleasant so I was able to get used to the less than pleasing component. Texture is thick, smooth and fairly fizzy. Finish is less bitter and more fruity. Maybe not the best I’ve had, but still worthy.
