First let me say, I have the best wife in the world. I got home from work today and looked in the fridge to find a SN best of beer camp mix pack with a sign on it saying happy fathers day.

Just had the California common. at first I was not terribly impressed, but as the beer warmed up just a little the maltiness came through in a nice way. A little bready. definite 'lager' character but good solid mouthfeel. Hops are balanced if a little sharp when the beer is cold.

I will be happy to drink this one at least 2 more times (12 beers, 4 varieties)
