John Harvards American Cream Ale

Brewed by John Harvards Brewhouse (Corporate Office)
Style: Cream Ale
Cambridge, Massachusetts USA

This one is sweet, creamy, and very smooth. Light yellow color with decent head. It isn't real complex or malty, but not bad for a cream ale. Like Amstel on steroids.

Tasted at the Washington D.C. branch. Thin yellow with a suprising rich looking head. Some light hop aroma and very little malt detected. The hops dominate the flavor too, making this much more crisp and dry than I would anticipate from a cream ale. With a little more malt body, this could be a nice pale ale; as is, nothing to write home about.

Tasted like a stronger Budweiser type beer. Had the same type of flavor, but more distinct. That wasn’t a good indication.
