Sunken City Steemboat Clone Extract Recipe Kit

BJCP Category 19: Amber and Brown American Beer · Subcategory 19B: California Common

This beer is based on a style born in the American west during the gold rush, the California Common. It gets its unique characteristics from the historical practice of being fermented with a lager yeast, but at close to an ale temperature, causing a quick fermentation and leaving the beer with a mix of uncommon characteristics. Steemboat Beer shows mildly fruity aromatics with a clean hop aroma, while the body is medium with an assertive hop bitterness in the finish.

This kit is designed to make 5 gallons of beer.
