| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 22, 2008 Received a 12-oz bottle via trade with André. Pours a semi-clear golden pale brew with a quick dissolving white head that leaves behind a fine film and white ring. Aroma of light bready malt, a touch of cloves, earthy spice and some flowery hops. Taste is medium bodied, lightly smooth, some carbonation with flavors of bread malt with a touch of allspice and herbs. Finish is slightly metallic with a malt and clove aftertaste that lingers after the finish. Angeloregon (2025), Portland, Oregon, USA

Herbal, creamy nose. Mildly metallic and rich. Bready and smooth. A good example of the style with a hoppy twist to it. robforbes (1099), Bremerton, Washington, USA

pour is a clear pale yellow with a medium size white head and good lacing.
smell tingles the nose, pear, some hops, light on the malts, citus, cloves and herbs.
taste is crisp yet creamy, earthy, sweet fruit, sour malt, and lemon, ends dry, tart and a hint of bitter. eaglefan538 (2383), Wilmington, Delaware, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 10, 2007 Bottle from 5000/Larry Pitonka. Poured a golden yellow color, huge honkin, persistent, humongo head, way overcarbonated from a convenience factor, yet it didn’t kill the mouthfeel or tarnish the actual experience at all. The aroma was herbal, semi-spicey hops, grains, light fruity ester notes. The flavor followed the aroma, lots of flavor and firm hops, all finishing dry and crisp, although I could have been told it was a standard american pale ale and wouldn’t have known it was a "cream ale." Thanks Andre, a nice one. riversideAK (2742), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 19, 2007 Aroma is light. Perhaps a little fruity. Pours gold with a nice white head that was long lasting. Flavor had some sweetness, fruitiness and a hoppy finish that had tasty citrus notes. It was smooth, easy to drink, but very flavorful in a basic sort of way, if that makes sense. I like it! Eckato (89), St. Petersburg, Florida, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jul 18, 2007 I enjoy Laughing Dog (especially the Devil Dog) but this doesn’t work for me. The taste seems more blunted and seperated than creamy.
