On tap at Kingfish in Oakland. From notes. Reviewed 23 June 2015.
A pretty straightforward lager, but roundly unobjectionable. Maybe it's the months of rice lagers, but this drinks pretty good.

This is probably what Anchor Steam tasted like before they started mass producing. Very good common lager /steam type beer.

This was described to me as Linden St.’s take on the California common. If I hadn’t had it direct from the source I would have never guessed that.
Sampled direct from the tank (as the keg wasn’t flowing). How fresh is fresh indeed!
This pours a bright golden straw color with great foaming. I get notes of toasted corn, cereal, and a fresh cut grassy aroma. It’s fresh and vibrant and that continues on the flavor with a sharply focused lemony bitterness. There’s a strong grassy note which runs through, along with lemony citrus and some lemongrass as well, more of an earthy vs. fruity hop profile, and it ends with a dry finish. While it is not one I would rate as accurate to the style it is a tasty brew indeed.

Pours a slightly hazy orange-golden with a soapy white head. Asymmetrical lacing around the edges as the head dissipates. Some green grape and unripe banana. Medium to full bodied mouthfeel with very little carbonation. Clean flavor with some tart fruit that gets accentuated by the hop character at the finish.
