McAuslan Cream Ale

Brewed by McAuslan Brewing
Style: Cream Ale
Montreal, Canada

Nitro draught at C’est What, Toronto. Fresh from the tap, this was beautifully cloudy in the top third of the glass, gradually becoming a transparent orange colour with a thick, creamy, persistent head. The aroma was a bit faint with some orange and breadiness. This was quite refreshing, with a relatively thick, creamy mouthfeel. There was orange and lemon in the flavour, with pine and a fresh but modest hop bitterness.

[1757-20081003] Tap. Mild grainy bread dough yeast aroma. Clear, amber red body with a long-lasting thick creamy white head and some lacing. Fruity grainy yeast flavour has mostly bread dough notes with a hint of cooked broccoli. Medium body is creamy. Very fresh, very nice, in super condition.

Draught au Cafe du Temps perdu. Bonne presence de houblon et de malt, le tout coiffer d un magnifique collet blanc nuage. Draught at the Cafe du Temps Perdu. Good hoppinness and maltiness, topped with an amazing white creamy head.

On tap at the Woolwich Arms in Guelph The aroma was sweet and floral quit nice pours a orengey amber with lots of creamy head and good lacing the taste was sweet and very creamy the best cream ale i have had thus far

Draft. Creamy gold colour, took forever to settle, but left a very nice creamy head that would add to the beer very nicely. Lives up to the title ‘Cream Ale’, one of the creamiest beers I’ve ever had, with a malt backing. Like many cream ales, it suffers from an overall blandness, but this is probably as good cream ales come, good brew.

On tap at fall ale fest. Taps a hazed dark honey color, with a billowing creamy head. Aromas are subtle but you get whifs of floral hops, apricot, some sweet grainy notes. Nice hop "bite" up front with a wonderful creamy smooth mouth feel, some citrus-peach notes in the middle with a clean, drying , delicate malty finish. I think we got something here. Cream ales are kind of a bland two dimensional style but this is both layered and subtle as well as smooth and creamy....don’t know how much the nitrogen delivery has to do with it but this is one of the better commercial cream ales you’ll find anywhere.

En fût au King Hall de Sherbrooke, une bière québécoise que j’adore choisir, Pale Ale à l’azote, elle nous apporte une telle douceur en bouche que nous croyons déguster un dessert. Jolie couleur, arôme primaire de houblon floral et finale de malt.

En fût au Sacrilège. Nos yeux aperçoivent une bière de couleur cuivrée surmontée d’une belle mousse compacte. Au nez on découvre des arômes de houblon floral, de caramel et de noisettes. En bouche on rencontre un corps moyen avec une effervescence faible et une texture lourde et crémeuse. Nos papilles gustatives font connaissances avec des flaveurs puissantes de houblons, de noisettes grillées et de caramel.
