Must admit that I was glad to drink this. Somehow I thought that this was going to be the same as Maltman's brew of the same name (since the same brewery makes it) but was happy to realize that it couldn't be further from the truth.
Honestly, this California Summer Ale is a West Coast-style pale ale, strictly speaking it is quite similar to the legendary Sierra Nevada. Although I must admit it lacks the depth and psychedelic complexity of the forerunner, it does have a decent american single hopped taste that I like about Sierra Nevada Pale Ale - and nobody expects anything more than that!
Quite a decent pale ale well hopped (with Cascade?), feels quite West Coast American even though it is East European... Great first impression of Pivovar Karpat!
