Aroma: Typically showcases the signature Northern Brewer hops (with woody, rustic or minty qualities) in moderate to
high strength. Light fruitiness acceptable. Low to moderate caramel and/or toasty malt aromatics support the hops.
No diacetyl.
Appearance: Medium amber to light copper color. Generally clear. Moderate off-white head with good retention.
Flavor: Moderately malty with a pronounced hop bitterness. The malt character is usually toasty (not roasted) and
caramelly. Low to moderately high hop flavor, usually showing Northern Brewer qualities (woody, rustic, minty). Finish
fairly dry and crisp, with a lingering hop bitterness and a firm, grainy malt flavor. Light fruity esters are acceptable, but
otherwise clean. No diacetyl.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium to medium-high carbonation.
Overall Impression: A lightly fruity beer with firm, grainy maltiness, interesting toasty and caramel flavors, and
showcasing the signature Northern Brewer varietal hop character.
History: American West Coast original. Large shallow open fermenters (coolships) were traditionally used to
compensate for the absence of refrigeration and to take advantage of the cool ambient temperatures in the San
Francisco Bay area. Fermented with a lager yeast, but one that was selected to thrive at the cool end of normal ale
fermentation temperatures.
Vital Statistics: OG: 1.048 – 1.054
IBUs: 30 – 45 FG: 1.011 – 1.014
SRM: 10 – 14 ABV: 4.5 – 5.5%
