The beer pours with a cider brown coloration and a creamy head that is fairly tenacious as it laces itself down the glass.

Girl From California is a feel-good sort of pop-rock that takes equal parts seventies rock, funk, soul, and an easy-going sound and makes them something that will work on current radio stations.
