Telegraph California Ale is our flagship beer and is our interpretation of the unique ales that were commonly brewed up and down the West Coast in the 19th century. It is an unfiltered, medium-bodied beer, with a rich amber color and a rocky, white head. The beer is crafted using domestic American ingredients and fermented with a unique yeast strain that accentuates the hoppy spiciness, while also imparting fruity and subtly sour flavors. The aromas are spicy and earthy, reminiscent of the rich agricultural valleys surrounding Santa Barbara.

    On tap at Hamiltons. Pours with a slightly cloudy, amber gold body topped by a medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. It’s grassy with a slight bitter note, a touch of sourness and a hint of over ripe fruit. Light to medium bodied and highly carbonated.

    This California Common pours a light orange gold color from a corked 750ml bottle. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity and sweet. A medium bodied California Common. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are earthy. Nice carbonation. It has that soft round mouthfeel that you get from some steam beers, I mean California Commons, but it also hs a touch of Belgian Yeast esters. Kind of a different take. Very smooth. Nice beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
