Pelican Kiwanda Cream Ale

Brewed by Pelican Pub & Brewery
Style: Cream Ale
Pacific City, Oregon USA

22 oz bottle via the brewpub at the beach. Pours a clear copper with a tiny head. Subtle aroma, perhaps some pear, vanilla and caramel malts. Flavors are toffee, pear, a tiny bit bananna and caramel malts, mild grassy hops with a fizzy finish. Thin body, easy to drink but forgettable. Good session beer though...

GABF 2006. Golden sunset in color. Small but dense white head. Nose is fruit notes, light flowery hops, and light tea. Taste brings of more fruit, floral notes, some light tea leaves and hops. Body is soft and creamy. Go figure. Ends with more fruit notes, light hops and tea leaves. Not too horrible.

Bronze color w. silky, cream head. Mild mostly bland hopping w. intermittent floral notes. Floral flavor and aroma grows on warming. Dryish finish and overall, one of the finer cream ales.

This is not my favorite of this style. Nose is full of peaches and cream, with some orange zest acidity on the palate, just a hint of mild maltiness and hops. Taste like watermelon bubblegum.

Hazy pale yellow, thin head. Fruity citric, slight hoppy nose. Sweet, bubblegum, cake flavour. Low bitterness. Short aftertaste.

Bottled. Golden, creamy white head. Weak aroma of citric fruit and vanilla. Creamy, light flavour of oranges and honey with a short aftertaste of grapefruit.

[At Stockholm Beer Festival 2005] A hazy yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet and slightly hoppy as well as slighlty grassy. The flavor is sweet with notes of peach as well as grass as a good deal of lemon, but the body is a little thin.

Bottled. Hazy yellow colour, white creamy head. Fruity hoppy aroma with hints of berries. Peaches and some other fruits in flavour. Also some notes of banana. Soft and smooth until a hoppy finish. Peaches and hops in aftertaste.
