As I grow older, I like a drinkable, lighter lager. Pushing a little upscale from my normal Narragansett and PBR, I found this beer to be great. Highly drinkable, clean and crisp taste with just a hint of hoppiness. It's going to stay in the rotation.

Product description
In 1876, thanks to an ice pond in the mountains and a belief that anything is possible in the Golden State, a little brewery named Boca created California's first genuine lager. Anchor California Lager® is our re-creation of this historic beer. Made in San Francisco with two-row California barley, Cluster hops (the premier hop in 19th-century California), and our own lager yeast, this all-malt brew is kräusened and lagered in our cellars. Its golden color, distinctive aroma, creamy head, balanced depth of flavor, and smooth finish make Anchor California Lager® a delicious celebration of California’s unique brewing heritage.

Tim Verified BuyerVerified BuyerMaria Verified BuyerVerified Buyerif this is your first bear you've ever had go away. but jokes aside the beer is comparable to a light Guinness if there were such a thing but a stronger dark more dinner time lager the one I mind is Samuel Adams Boston , but I would recommend this in a pint size and to truly enjoy this beer and it's little to no head is with a steak with potatoes, this beer has a history and it's quite enjoyable while reading about it's history while drinking it so cheers to a piece of California tradition that is this beer.
