Small beer from second runnings of the Mamber Ale. I'm going for a weak California Common approach here.
Grains: Same as Mamber, with addition of 0.5lb Carapils to ensure proper dextrines
Hops: Bravo for bittering as I have it on hand, Loral for a new world approach to old world hops
Yeast: Imperial Cable Car
Water profile: American lager with enhanced sodium, only using the Sparge column from Bru'n Water
Color is yellow and is very clear. Pours with 1 finger of foam this dissipates fairly quick. Aroma is yeast with light sulfur. Taste is entirely characterized by the yeast, which has a lightly bready and corn flavor that is almost tart at the end; the flavors are very delicate though and, if you eat anything while drinking this, the beer really is nearly tasteless. Carbonation is fine for this light of a beer, though I wouldn't mind a little more. Overall, it's an okay first attempt at a lager, but I wouldn't brew this again. It needs more malt character to give it some complexity and actual flavor.
