Mar 20, 2009 Clear gold with a good size white head that flees the scene. The lacings are very good for this style. Aroma is mild breads. Taste is bitter earthy hops with a good amount of sweet malts. I don’t know much about cream ales but this was a very nice beer. Kind of like a 50 / 50 lager and pale ale. Good dry bitter finish. I think you could drink this beer all night. Providing you like it as much as I do.

Mar 10, 2009 Bottle at nearbeer’s Spring Cleansin’. Pours hazy gold with thin white head. The aroma is strong corn husk, some spicy hops, and maybe a touch of pine. Flavor is tons of corn, some grain hull, and a little bit of disembodied bitterness. Decent, but so much corn.

Mar 10, 2009 12 oz. thanks to lithy for sharing this one. Honey, corn and grain aromas. Flavor is the same, with a bitter woody finish. Light-medium body is dry and tingly.

Mar 10, 2009 nearbeer’s Spring Cleansin’. Sample from a bottle shared by me thanks to jake65. Pale yellow with a thin white ring. Pale malt aromas, creamed corn, a light vanilla. Taste is simple malt sweetness with a bit of smooth maize and a nice finishing sweetness. Damn good for a cream ale.

Feb 10, 2009 Wow...thanks Chewy for this top rated cream ale. I love this style! Aroma was decent. Light malt and a hint of lemongrass. Pour was a lovely light gold with lots of bubbles and a one finger white head. Taste was very crisp and refreshing. Light malt with a hint of citrus that is very subdued and distant. This beer is all about drinkability and refreshment.

Dec 13, 2008 Laughing Dog Cream Ale has a meduim body, orange-citrus, light bitterness. Straightforward cream ale, like its label.

Dec 12, 2008 12-oz. Pours lightly hazy dark burnished gold with a loose white head that falls quickly to sudsy film. Intermittent webby lace. Gingery, fruity nose. Not sure if the fruit is entirely intentional, but these guys generally do not have QA issues so it is worth letting it slide this time either way. Light, watery body with soft carb knocking around in the background. Light, easy drinking, refreshing. Not much finish. Not half bad. Just not real forward or dimensional.
