Commercial Description:
This copper colored ale is a silky, creamy dream. It’s malty, very mildly hopped, and lightly sweet, with a delicate hint of spice for that oh-so-drinkable, extra velvety flavor. A cool beer for the heat, whatever your latitude!

Ahhh...so this is a Cream Ale. I thought it tasted super creamy when I enjoyed this on a wonderful summer afternoon lounging at Kasairinkaikoen with my beautiful soulmate. The colour was very nice..a tawny mohaghany leather tan with a fluffy head and some carbonation bubbles racing upward. Had a delicious smell of apricot, yam, floral hints as well. Tasted like an alcoholic cream soda. Might have actually been too creamy for a summer day. Would be perfect autumn pint material.

Pours deep amber with a thin head that yields spots of lacing. Malty, cream, some light spicy hops but everything really does take a back seat to the cream flavor, which doesn’t do it for me. Cream soda comparisons are justified. Overall not a bad beer at all for the summer. I enjoyed the one I had enough in the hot sun after some painting but this won’t be something I will seek out too often.

Pours a dark copper brown with a medium white head. Aroma is sour fruit. Taste is sour cherries and cream.Very smooth and easy to drink but pretty boring after a while. It reminds me of a sour cream soda without any sweetness.

Sampled as part of a sixer. A really nice summer brew. Pours crystal clear with a light brown hue. A good taste of spice with mild hops and malts. A really nice drink.

Had this in the can at The brewery. It was a good surprise for a nice clean summer beer. Very easy to drink, and it seemed to be a big hit with the disk golfers loading 6 packs into there carry bags and heading out to Anderson Valley Brewing’s disk golf course right behind the brewery!!! Cant wait to go back to Boonville and get the growler filled.

Bottle->footed pilsner: Pours a huge brown head atop a murky, clear body. Mild orange aroma. The body is medium with a creamy texture, finishing astringently. An OK beer, but I must admit that while the creaminess appealed to me when I was considering this beer, in the end it was a little cloying.

Faint cherry aroma.Clear copper, thin head. Tastes of creamy cherries. Tinny and malty palate. My first cream ale that is actually creamy. Still, I’d rather have something else.

I am not a fan of summer beers much less sweet beers but this is probably the best one I have come accross. It pours a nice copper color with sweetness in the nose. The first sip was malty with hints of vanilla and a slight hop flavor in the finish. A very unique beer
