California common beer - A slight sweetness and fruity fullness announces the malty base of this beer while a worldly mix of flavorful hops provide delicious dryness to the finish of a sturdy specialty lager.  This style has also been called 'steam beer'; speculation is that high temperature fermentation with a lager yeast created a beer with high carbonation, or a "steam", that greeted the drinkers of San Francisco when they opened a bottle.  5.9% ABV.
