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.

Light copper pour with a thick frothy nitro head. Aroma is caramel malt, some grain, and toasty notes. Flavor is also quite grainy with some bitterness to complement a mild sweet malt presence. Palate is chewy but deceivingly thin. A great session brew, but by no means a fireside sipper or tasting breakout delicatessen.

On tap at Le Moulin de Wakefield. Aroma is hop, malt and fruity. Nice thick froth on top. Taste is smooth and complex. Light malt flavour with a slight hop bitterness in the aftertaste. This is a very nice beer. I’d have it anytime.

Appearance: initial ’nitro’ look, creamy, milky. Settles into a fine looking Amber with a proud White head. Aroma: decent amount of hops, candy, malt and a hint of single malt scotch. Flavour: nice woody start, malt, some candy hops and again a single malt flavour in the finish. Quite a creamy mouthfeel. Decent brew indeed. I don’t know how this one flew under my radar for so long.

On tap at the Library Pub in Wolfville, N.S. Copper colour with a creamy head. Smooth texture. Earthy malt flavour. Not bad, drinkable cream ale.

Pint at The Kick Off in Waterloo. Taps a darker gold with a huge nitro’d white head (took a couple minutes to settle). The aroma is peachy, apply, pale malty and with a touch of piny hops. The flavour was the same malty sweet aspects with some very nice and surprising hop presence in the finish to add very nice balance. The hops took me by surprise here as I’ve never encountered them in a cream ale before. Very smooth, I could throw back several pints of this easily. Definitely the best cream ale I’ve ever had.

On tap. The look and mouthfeel of this beer are excellent which is good because you can’t really rate a cream ale on it’s wide variety of aromas and flavors. Still they are quite decent, malty with with fine hops a bit on the watery side for the taste.

On tap. Pours amber with thick white head. Nice medium malts with bits of hops. Not as tasty as the pale or oatmeal stout, but an easy drinking beer.

On tap at Le Turf, Quebec City. Poured amber with a big creamy head lacing and stayed untill the end. Nice looking. Aroma is faint hops. Taste is faint hop and citrusy. Mouthfeel is great. Not much complexity. Quite like the Pale Ale (which I like a lot) with less aroma and flavour. Not bad but not as good as their Pale ale. Rating #110
