33 Acres Brewing Life 355 ml - 24 Cans
33 Acres of Life is the quintessential "California Common" (or Steam Beer) from Vancouver’s 33 Acres Brewing Co. This style is a rare hybrid in the beer world: it is brewed with a special strain of lager yeast but fermented at warmer, ale-like temperatures. The result is a beer that captures the best of both worlds—the crisp, clean finish of a lager and the fruity, complex aromatics of an ale. It is a brilliant copper-colored tribute to San Francisco’s brewing history, reimagined with West Coast precision.
Beer Description
This California Common pours a clear, beautiful amber-copper with a thick, off-white creamy head and moderate carbonation.
Aroma: It features a remarkably balanced and "toasty" nose. You’ll find immediate notes of caramelized malt and toasted sourdough, followed by a distinct woody and herbal hop scent—characteristic of the Northern Brewer hops used in this style. There is also a very faint, pleasant fruitiness (apple or pear) that comes from the warmer fermentation.
Palate: On the tongue, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, rounded mouthfeel. It leads with a rich, bready malt sweetness and a touch of toffee. This is quickly balanced by a firm, earthy bitterness that cleanses the palate. The finish is dry and crisp, staying true to its lager roots.
Profile: It has a highly sessionable ABV of 4.8% and a moderate bitterness of approx. 35 IBU, making it an exceptionally versatile food-pairing beer.
Technical Notes: Brewed with a blend of specialty crystal malts to achieve its deep amber color and toasted flavor profile. The use of Northern Brewer hops is essential to the style, providing a "rustic" bitterness that isn't citrusy or tropical like modern IPAs. It is the definition of a "sessionable amber," focusing on malt depth without being heavy.
