Sixpoint Sweet Action

On tap at Bukowski Tavern, Boston MA, 28 September 2009. Well, well, well. I just had a cream ale without even realizing it. And the best one there is apparently. Amber colour. Scant head. Hops don’t make much initial impression but creep up on you. Quite firm mouthfeel. Relatively straightforward but decent, refreshing drinking.

Light citrus and more floral to earth hop aroma. Flavor similar. Pretty bland overall

Earthy pine hops. Pours clear amber with little head. Little sweet malty backbone then an ugly bitter finish. Taste of a little milky sweetness but am surprised it’s a cream ale. Decent carbonation. I can’t say this is the best cream ale but still a solid beer. Give me a Hale’s cream ale any day.

I was wondering what kind of beer this was and upon seeing that it is a cream ale, I am not at all surprised. Pours a cloudy copper color. Has a pretty fruity nose. Tastes fruity at the front and I almost mistook it for a fruit beer. Then finishes off with a yeasty finish. Some hops in there. Rather on the sweet side of things.

Pours orange yellow with a white head. Mild hop/orange aroma. Light, sweet flavor with just the right amount of hops. I really enjoyed this.

Growler from Bierkraft. Hazy copper with lasting head and lace. Aromatic herbal hop and fruity nose. Mild fruity malt with medium aromatic citrus hop finish. Fairly light and quaffable. Not bad.

growler–pours a rich white head that laces and copper color. Aroma is medium malt, spice/resin hops. Taste is sweet light malt-caramel, herbal hops up front then mid/late palate very thin for the first pint. By second pint a bit thin/light body.

Water Taxi Beach: The name alone, Sweet Action, is worth drinking. Poured by a wreckless short order cook, had to fight to get a top off to replace the 2 inch head he left! Anyway, a amber pour, no cloudiness, slightly off white, lasting head. I’m not so familiar with cream ales, although this is good... smooth, mild taste, not too heavy on the hops at all, somewhat bitter, but overall mild. Easily drinkable, does coat your mouth more than an American style ale will.
