Commercial Description:
Nitrogen is what distinguishes McAuslan Cream Ale from the crowd. Draft beer is usually pressurized with carbon dioxide. The addition of nitrogen to the mixture helps create a thicker, longer-lasting head. The nitrogen also helps smooth away some of the characteristic carbon dioxide bite often associated with North American drafts. Our Cream Ale, known as McAuslan Smooth Ale in the US, has a beautiful long-lasting head and a full-bodied silky texture that make it a unique taste experience.

thick, rich lacing. lots of carbonation in the mouth. mild hop bitterness - particularly on the palate. I’m not usually a cream ale fan, but this was one of the better ones I have had.

on tap at C’est What. I’m assuming the glass i had ti in was not cleaned properly, cause this tasted very much like soap. I tried my best to taste it otherwise. It looked great with a thick creamy head. aroma was soap, and some hops. flavour was quite bitter, again witha grainy soapiness. not very good, will have to try again.

On tap. They weren’t kidding with the nitro... very obvious from the pour and mouthfeel, though it does the beer well. Dry, lots of strawberry shortcake desert type flavors... vanilla, cream, a touch of corn.

On tap at the HELM, bright amber-orangeish color, with a thick creamy white head, leaving laces, yeasty fruity peachy nose, with a spicy vanilla note, a mild toasted touch,earthy floral hops in the aroma follows through on a light-bodied palate with a smooth grainy fruity character, with a nice flowery hops accent, a subtle kind of tapioca/crème brulée note, hints of fruitiness, leading towards a fruity hops bittering finish.

Draught @ TFOB: Let me note first you can add me to the list of people who don’t think it’s possible to make a truly good Cream Ale. It’s just a bad idea for beer, but that said, welcome to the best of the style. Things start off with a stunning pour, complete with Guinness-esque reverse cascade(!) She settled to a golden copper colour with an amazing thick foamy head. Aroma heavy in flowers and hops, light caramel background. Flavour is alright in general but excellent for a cream ale with lots of sweetness and malt on your sip and a strong hop hit as you finish.

On tap at l’Autre Oeil, June 16, 2006. A reddish amber ale with an extra onctuous off white head. Pleasant smooth malt aroma and light floral hops. A rich malt with decent british hops, light caramel and medium bodied. A classic.
