I honestly could not have told you if this was a lager or an ale. It looked like a light gold basic lager and only had just a hint of dry ale taste. Just enough hops to be cold and refreshing though and it really hit the spot for such a basic beer. Very simple but not bad as long as you know what you are diving into.

Draught at Capone’s: Faint aroma of hops and pale malts. Poured gold in color with a medium-sized, dense, rocky, white head that lasted throughout. Clear. Not sparkling. Very good lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of pale malts, chocolate, noble hops, and slight cream. Light to medium body. Thin, dry texture. Average carbonation. Dry, malty finish.

On tap at Capones. Pours a translucent golden with a medium creamy white head that laced. Aroma was sweet and malty, corn, light grassy notes and citrus. Flavor of sweet corny and grainy notes, some hop flavor and bitterness and floral.

Sampled at brewery nov 1 08. Pours a pale golden color with a off-white head. Aroma of pale malts, light hops and grain. Flavor was a grainy malt balanced by citrus hops with a touch of fruit and a lightly bitter finish.

Straw color with off-white head. Nose is grainy pale malt, some fruity yeasty esters, mild spiciness. Tastes pale malty, somewhat sweet yet creamy, with a solid fruity and yeasty spicy ester flavor. Fairly smooth. Not great, but I’d drink it again.

Pretty nice cream ale here. Some hops and some malt come through. Light, refreshing, drinkable. Not bad.

From a growler directly from Magic Hat. The appearance was a light gold with a stream of bubbles up the center which formed a small head. I was a little surprised with the creamy feel that accompanied the balanced flavors. I agree with some of the other posts regarding this a summer type ale; but I would have to say after a day of hard skiing this is exactly the type of beer I would look forward to; a refreshing drink with a nice creamy feel.
