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.

Pint at Winking Judge; solid head with a pleasant dark gold colour. There was a good hop aroma. The ale provided a sweet swallow which eventually became quite hoppy. Not bad but I don’t see this becoming a regular choice.

draught at the Toronto Beer Festival 2004. Nice creamy head fill the glass and eventually (read: long) cascades away which makes for a cool looking beer. creamy and smooth. Not a whole lot going on with this beer but it’s still very drinkable and waaaay better than Sleeman Cream.

On tap at C’est What. Starts badly as it’s cold with metallic and appley flavours. Nice amber, good mouthfeel. The beer improves as it warms and takes on a piney hoppy finish. This puts sleeman cream ale to shame.

Dark and clear golden hue, nitro-off-white head, full and foamy. Extremely restrained aroma, low intensity hay or is it corn?, empty. Metallic almost corny palate, awfully bland, one of those beers that is oriented toward a mouthfeel and nothing else. Airy texture, rather thin, but of course nitro smooth. Much worse than I had hoped.

Creamy golden body, thick white head. Flavour and aroma are just not quite there, some hoppiness, but the beer is only held up by its creaminess. Little to see here, but not bad. Draught.

One of the better cream ales I have ever tried. Medium body, light hops in aroma and finish, very drinkable. On draught.
