Gold medal winner at the 2015 LA International Beer Competition. A toasty, malt-forward amber fermented with lager yeast at ambient Monterey temperature. A tasty, historical style native to Northern California.

On-tap at Alvarado Street Brewery, Monterey, CA
A: The beer is very hazy dark yellow amber in color. It poured with a thin off white head that left thick lacing down the sides of the glass and a collar around the edge.
S: Light to moderate aromas of yeast are present in the nose along with notes of biscuit and cracker malts and hints of caramel malts.
T: The taste follows the smell and has flavors of biscuit malts along with notes of yeast and hints of caramel and toasted malts.
M: It feels just about medium-bodied and a little chewy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is easy to drink. It liked the notes of yeast and the chewy mouthfeel.
Serving type: on-tap
