California Common Beer 5 º 41 IBU

Bierverbond

Bierverbond’s California Common presents a quintessential look at the historical steam beer profile. A brilliant copper hue supports a persistent off-white head, releasing aromas of rustic Northern Brewer hops characterized by woody, herbal, and distinctive minty notes. The palate is defined by a firm, toasted malt backbone with layers of caramel, balanced against an assertive bitterness. Despite being fermented with lager yeast at warmer temperatures, the profile remains clean with only a subtle hint of fruity esters. It concludes with a crisp, dry finish and a lingering grainy malt presence that highlights its rugged, classic American heritage.

Appearance. Medium amber to light copper color (9–14 SRM). Generally clear with a moderate, creamy off-white head exhibiting good retention and lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high herbal, resinous, and minty hop character. Supporting this is a low to moderate malt aroma featuring toasty and light caramel notes. Very light fruity esters are acceptable and present.

Taste. Moderately malty with a pronounced hop bitterness. Toasted and caramel malt flavors are prominent, balanced by rustic, woody, or minty hop flavors. The finish is fairly dry and crisp with a lingering hop bitterness and firm, grainy malt aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a smooth texture. Carbonation is medium to medium-high, providing a lively mouthfeel without being harsh. Alcohol warmth is low and well-integrated.
