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.

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.

Mondial de la Bière de Montréal; This is a Boddingtons #2, but better than Boddingtons. Nice creamy head, delicious, normal ale aroma, sweet bitter flavor. This is simple, its a good refreshing beer just right for the summer.

Ordered this one at Dieu du Ciel. A very nice cream ale, this one poured a dark golden color with a great head (nitrogen?) and good lacing while drinking. Aroma was mild with some floral notes. Mouthfeel wasn’t overly carbonated but thick and creamy. The flavor followed with a slight bitterness and interesting hoppy presence (not overly done, just wasnt’t expecting that in a cream ale).

Very rarely do I enjoy nitrogen. This beer is not one of those exceptions.

Tap @ Black Tomato. Pale amber beer with a thick creamy white head. Earthy malt aroma, honey and light woody hops. Nitro head, but some nice earthy aromas still make it out. Flavour is quite earthy and woody, light caramel. Bordering on being a bitter. Quite good.

Draught at C’est What, shared with HogTownHarry. Pours a slightly hazy dark orange with an average size lasting creamy white head. Nice lacing. Mild aroma of floral hops, fruit and some malt. The flavour is fruity with a nice light bitterness -- the hops are a nice surprise considering how lame this style usually is. Mouthfeel is creamy but a tad thin. Definitely the best Cream Ale I’ve had but that’s not saying much.

Draught. At C’est What, shared with blankboy. Poured hazy light coppy with a decent, very creamy lasting off-white head. Remarkably light aroma of fresh floral hops, sweet mild grainy malt, and an odd whisper of floral hand soap. Flavour is a nice balance of sweet malt and dry floral hops, the finish is lightly bitter. Mouthfeel is watery and lightly astringent, somewhat flat. This is okay, easy to drink, but while it’s maybe as good a cream ale as I’ve ever had, that’s still faint praise.

Disponible seulement en fut. Elle a une saveur et un arome légèrement fruité, un goût très crèmeuse et pas trop amère.
