Schooners American Ale

Clear light yellow with no head. Sweet malty vanilla aroma and taste but finishing watery.

On draft at the brewery. Pale yellow color with a tiny white head. Very bready aroma with a hint of sweetness. Taste of sweet corn, maybe some apple fruitiness and fresh baked bread. Very light on the palate. The brewer says it made this beer to compete with the popularity of the easy drinking macros. Not bad. They definitley crafted this one well for what it is.

Draft at the brewpub. Very pale yellow color. Light grainy flavor; mild hop. Finishes grainy and slightly bitter. Crisp & clean.

Pours champagne color with a thin film of a white head. Nose is very subtle bready malt. The flavor is bready with a hint of cream corn, also on the palate.

Clear yellow, clean, refreshing, bready, yeasty, malty, little corn, hops, little fruity, little floral.

On tap at the Schooner’s Brewery/Restaurant in Antioch. It pours a clear pale gold with thin bright white head. The aroma is light malty sweetness, corn and mild noble hops. The flavor has a brief hint of crisp spice hops that gets covered up with sugary sweet malts and corn flakes. Not really my favorite tasting type of beer but it is refreshingly fresh.

Tasted from fresh growler. This blond/golden ale pours a medium orange gold color. Small to medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity and sweet. A light to medium bodied golden ale. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are slightly spicy. Nice balance. Good carbonation. It’s a light, sweet and fruity ale, nearly delicate tasting. Smooth round mouthfeel. I’m not a fan of golden ales, but this one is nice. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet.

Very pale clear yellow, moderate head. Very light grainy/corny aroma. Low body and bitterness levels. Quite smooth and clean, lacking any esters or other exciting flavors. A perceptible bitterness at the end and appropriately dry finish keeps this from being insipid like other similar cream ales (what I’d call this).
