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.

Came in a variety pack. I don’t know that I have ever tried a cream ale before. Will have to try others to see how much they have in common. Easy to drink but unremarkable. I have this feeling that if I was at a festival and they tapped this keg I would enjoy it immensely. Just not one to bring home this way.

Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a medium white head. Nose is grassy and grainy with touch funk in the background. Initial taste is crisp, grainy, grassy similar to the aroma, mild sweet malt and touch fruit. Simple but interesting and enjoyable. Good head retention and average palate duration. Light body.

The taste of corn syrup comes to mind. Nice color, but funky finish, way too floral. The sweetness hides the malt. Very popular, but I’d prefer something crisper.

Bottle acquired via trade with nimbleprop. THANKS ANDREW!!! Actually really enjoyed this beer...truly!!! What a nice easy drinkin’ sessionable brew. Pure honey pour with a small eggshell head and a bit of lacing. Fruity with a light malt sweetness and some buttermilk biscuit. Low ABV which is a nice change of pace. Would love this on a hot Arizona summer day!!!

12oz bottle secured in WI. Golden-tan color with a touch haze. Minimal head laces the glass. First sip kind of shocked me, perhaps the bottle is too old, but the aroma seems off to me. Fruity and creamy, has some similarities of a German beer that has been on the shelf for years. Solid balanced crispness that never really asserts itself as hoppy. A definite let-down of a beer, I’m sure its better fresh though.

Typical cream ale. Hints of some fruity esters in the aroma, as well as corn and malt. Flavor is mainly barley and malt, with some fruity esters and yeast. Mouthfeel is creamy and smooth. Overall a decent cream ale.

12 oz bottle from Duke’s Alehouse and Kitchen. Pours a cloudy golden color with a light residual lacing. Aromas are floral, fruity and earthy. It kind of reminds me of a pilsner. Flavor is very light and refreshing. Creamy and malty with citrus flavors...mainly lemon. Finish is very crisp and clean. Great for a summer day....good session beer.
