Tap @ the brewpub and a wonderful surprise, probably the best damn Cream Ale I ever had. Color is lightly hazy dark straw with visible carbonation. Has a medium sized head that never fully fades. Aroma is strong white biscuit maltiness with some sweat pea (in a good way, which may be putting the "cream’ aspect into this beer). Some light hops coming through. Flavor is what one should expect, some indistinct hops and a clean white bread maltiness. Simple, refreshing, and good. This was perfect for the outdoor seating at Selins Grove on a hot spring day.

On tap at Selin’s Grove brewpub. Golden pour with only a hint of hoppiness and a mild yeasty/lager-like aroma. Taste is a melding of ale and lager; slightly corny, but smooth and creamy. Very light and drinkable.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear light orange with a white head. Aroma of grainy malt, peach and apricot. Flavor of sweet malt, light fruits, banana, and light bitter hops. This is very drinkable and tasty. Nice cream ale!

Sample platter. Very little aroma, with a golden offwhite head. Golden in class with minimal clouding. Red fruit and cream with hints of peach on the tongue. Silky palate, overall enjoyable.

Pale golden color with slight head. Moderately clear. Aroma is clean with faint hints of hops and some light malt character. A bit of corn in the flavor, but smooth and slightly sweet in the end with a fair bitterness to round it out. Very easy drinking light cream ale.

Pint at Selins Grove. Clear honey colored body with a white head. Very smooth and creamy palate - fresh and light without smelling or tasting shallow. A light note of creamed corn (lightly sweet), and smooth throughout the drink, with a wheat/gritty/creamy texture in the finish. Nice, inoffensive flavors of wheat and corn and cracker barley, little to no hop presence, and a medium presence of creamy, yogurt yeast. Easy to drink.
