"A very well crafted brew, enough hops to go around yet still very balanced. Soon to be a classic (first brewed in 1984), an excellent fall back or session beer also."

The recipe for this beer is based off of the fist genuine lager brewed in California, by a small brewery named Boca in 1876. And boy does it taste like it. It is reminiscent of an old school German or Czech lager; it is clean, crisp, and has some bite on the finish that you usually find only in European lagers. The king of California lagers, Anchor, strikes again.
