A lovely malt profile of toasted bread dipped in caramel melds beautifully with the floral, herbal, woody, and resinous hops in Braden's highly drinkable California Common.

Had poured from 12-oz. can, bottom stamped (likely) canned on "03/13/25," into Willi Becher.

Pours deep amber-brown with clarity and 1-finger light-tan head, with decent retention, before dropping to a persistent ring, and scattering splotchy lace etched down the glass. Sweet and toasted malt and big, sweet stone fruit aromas off pour, then mild caramel and herbal aromas, all of which continue, with tarter stone fruit and floral aromas joining as warms. On tasting, begins with aggressive carbonation and mild, sweet caramel malt, then much nice, sweet stone fruit, which carry long and into a drying, herbally-bitter, toasted (bread) malt, biting finish.

A fruity but otherwise on-style take, with plenty of malt and herbal bitterness.
