Commercial Description:
Brewed with flaked barley and the finest Wisconsin malts. We even give a nod to our farmers with a little hint of corn. Naturally cloudy we allow the yeast to remain in the bottle to enhance fullness of flavors, which can not be duplicated otherwise. Expect this Ale to be fun, fruity and satisfying.

A nice cream ale. One of my favorite beers during college and still a great session beer. A pale/cloudy beer that has a citrusy/banana-rich taste.

Why does everything in WI have to have cow on it? Argh!! To tell you how much I like this beer, I will pay the extra $0.50 to buy a 6 pack. And that is saying a lot!

One of the more pretentious beers that I will actually order. It looks a little cloudy in a glass, but tastes very good. Despite a rather lame name, an overall good beer.

Was told by the locals to give this a try. Bottle...pours on the darker side of dirty blonde...not a bad head, not much staying power...surprised by the little amount of scent...taste of grains, small amount of fruit (pear?) w/ more of a hop afterbite than I expected. Stayed in mouth, but grew better as beer was had. I think it got a little better as it warmed. A nice choice.

Nice and tasty beer. I was a bit surprised by how much of a backbone this one has. Also, the abv is a bit big for a cream, ain’t it?

Easy to drink, excellent "lighter" beer. Creamy banana flavor. Highly recommended. One of the best!

Cloudy yellow. Lasting light head. Strong grassy aroma. Buttery cream banana. Kind of bland.

12 ounce bottle. Shaker glass. Pale cloudy yellow with a medium head. Aroma was mainly grain. Smells a bit like MGD. Taste was light malt, grain and maybe a touch of citrus. Average at best. Had a couple of these on tap in Hudson, WI. My initial rating was a bit harsh. these went down pretty good. Taste was lemony and citrusy with a fair amount of carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel. Much better on tap than I remember from the bottle.
