Apr 22, 2008 Draught Creamy-golden, no head left. Sulphur, grassy, weak nose. Weak, oxydized pale malts, watery finish. Weak and watery MF. Oops. I blame the "style".

Apr 4, 2006 Draught at Pizza Port Carlsbad
Light pale golden color with thin head and light lacing. The nose is light with some citrusy hops and a touch of pale malt. A lightly sweet flavor with a bit of doughy creamy malt finish. Decent cream ale without any real negative deterants.

Feb 11, 2007 On tap at Port Carlsblad. Another required component of a big lineup of 39 taps, though not needed, it’s a transition beer. Bit of lace, expected a good head but not so. Not too creamy although mouthfeel was fine, and in fact was not too different than their Mexican lager.

Apr 12, 2007 Updated: Apr 16, 2007On tap at Port Carlsbad. Another not required component of a big lineup of 39 taps, though not needed, it’s a beer for those with a palate. Moderate lace, and as expected a well-retained head. Not too creamy, since cream ales have nothing to do with "creaminess", and a lovely engaging, yet light mouthfeel. Quite different than the amigo lager, with more pale malt and lightly citric hops, as opposed to more traditional lager/european hops. Softer yeast presence with just a hint of fruitiness, as opposed to a lager yeast.
Really nicely attenuated, very flavorful and lacking of any flaws.

Jan 25, 2009 On tap @ Pizza Port, Carlsbad. Clear pale straw, compact white head with decent retention and early lace. Low aroma of clean grains. Surprisingly fruit palate (fruit cocktail) with a crisp dry finish. A pleasant surprise!
