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 draught at Dieu du Ciel, 3/6/05 with Muzzlehatch and tiggmtl. Had this while waiting for our bottle of Péché Mortel to warm up. Lightly hazy, apricot colored beer with a creamy white head, pretty much like it looks to the left. Sweet and sour aroma of fruity ale yeast with a touch of sourness. Flavor is again sweet and sour and it seems the yeast has a lot of influence on this beer, as it does with many cream ales. But, I felt there wasn’t enough else going on besides the light fruitiness from the ale yeast and the mildly crisp finish. The damned head was annoying when I was trying to drink this, because I kept getting sips of the head, which was very tastless and foamy. A little bit of dry caramel on the finish, dough and a light spiciness from the yeast, again. A well made ale/lager. Medium body, light wateriness at the end, pleasant carbonation and no alcohol.

On tap at Alex P keaton in London ontario. Pours an orangy/amber body with thick creamy offwhite head. heavy lacing, and head stays thick all the way down to the bottom of the glass. Aroma is sweet, slight malt, biscuity and nutty. Taste is nutty(chestnut), bready, and bitter sweet. Initially creamy with a slight watery finish. strong bitter aftertaste. Overall, refreshing, well balance, and will definately have it again.

On tap at Alex P. Keaton inm London, Ontario. Pours a nice looking orangey/red body with a thick frothy white head. Nice wall of foam sits a top the body, and remains thick and solid for the whole session. Aroma is bready, malty, sweet, and yeasty. Taste is sweet malts, biscuity, bread, and slight candy. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel, nice bitter aftertaste. Overall well balanced, and another good beer from a great Canadian brewing company!

Stood out from the crowd in the mini-sampler at the Bow & Arrow. Nice amber colour with creamy, frothy head. Hops and citrus and malty aromas from this medium bodied beer. Creamy, slow slightly bitter finish. Nice.

Bow & Arrow’s replacement for Creemore and I think it competes well. Good cream. And surprisingly bitter aftertaste, Medium mouthfeel. Malty sweet balance with genuine fruity highlights

A well rounded cream ale that ranks a tad brighter than sleemans. Watery for certain, but still reminiscient of flowers in whipped cream. Passes the taste test!

Tap: Clear amber ale with a huge creamy-like head with excellent retention. Aroma is solely comprised of some very nice floral malts. Taste is quite refreshing with again the floral malt bringing some added sweetness, which makes this even more enjoyable. Taste is also very creamy-like and way better then some other cream ale (Sleeman). I very much enjoyed this as a great session beer.
