boFNjackson (502), Portland, Oregon, USA Jul 21, 2008 Bottle... Poured amber with a white head. Aroma is sweet and tangy with buttery malt grains and floral hops. There’s a mini hop eplosion up front with biscuit malt to balance. The beer finished with the presence of alcohol.
Bungalo22 (257), Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA Aug 20, 2008 Pours an amber color with a very nice head but that head disapates to next to nothing within minutes. The lacing from the top of the head stays but the rest doesn’t. It smells hoppy and slightly sweet. It tastes hoppy as well and hits the palate with a bit of a bitter bite. It didn’t pick up the high then normal alcohol levels until the warm end. I never really got a creamy like taste but it was slightly so on the palate, again near the end. Ok as a beer not great as a cream ale. PolakPorter (50), , Illinois, USA Aug 19, 2008 Definitely not what I expected. The aroma can only be compared to a big ol American IPA. Hops hops and more fruity, citrussy hops. Interesting. As far as the taste goes, the hops remained a little more subdued. Good stuff. Like a creamy IPA. I want more jeremyd365 (74), Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA Aug 19, 2008 Poured a semi-cloudy copper with a solid head that stuck around. It was low to mediumly carbonated and smelled very citrusy and slightly hoppy. The taste was as good as the smell and reminded me of a delightful pale wheat. There was no bite from the hops and had an extremely smooth finish. I would definitely recommend this and would also have it again. 17thfloor (636), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 19, 2008 Thanks xnoxhatex! Pours a glowing dark amber with sparkling bubbles and a lovely thick creamy white head. Very sweet full malty aroma, caramel, honey and hops, spicy and a bit fruity. Very sweet sugary full flavor with loads of bitter undertones, reminds me slightly of steel reserve! Pretty simple flavor with hints of spicy/pepper and a bit fruity. Full bodied, creamy with lighter but crisp carbonation, love the drinkability in this fuller brew. raphael (256), Portland, Oregon, USA Aug 16, 2008 Balanced hop aroma, mile citrus and caramel. looks good, light and fragrant tint he mouth. Flavor is crisp & pleasant, again that hop-malt balance (though more int he favor of the hops)
