Commercial Description:
This lighter style brew is a brilliant gold, clean cream ale. Fermented at lower temperatures for a smooth flavor that comes from the perfect balance of subtle malt sweetness and delicate English and American hop crispness. Very flavorful and drinkable.

Bottle. Clear golden body. Toasty pale malt aroma with light leafy hops on top. Good clean hoppy flavor - there’s a delicate light toasty base finishing with a slightly limey, leafy finish. A well-made, appreciable beer.

Thanks Chuck. The beer pours to a clear golden body with a thin white head. The aroma is malty with a light sourdough and grains. The flavor is quite nice and fulfilling with nicely toasted malts. Nice crisp palate that is slightly drying.

Clear gold, no real head but a light white soapiness around the edge. Some nice fresh hop character in the aroma. Light citrus and grass. Okay aroma. Stale-ish macro grains with some crisp hop backing. Okay... light but decent.

dark golden pour... like pee after a long night of drinking, has a small fluffy head w/ some light lacing. light aroma some breads and light sweet malts or sugars(can’t really tell) it’s very light. Palate is pretty avg. Flavor is lightly sweet sugars lots of grains a bit of biscuit some earthiness. Very very light.. easy to drink and unoffensive.

Pours light golden with a mostly receding white head. Aroma of sweet biscuity malt, bread dough, and honey. Taste is lightly sweet bready malt, biscuit, and very mild hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with a very slight stickiness and soft carbonation. Not bad, but not impressive in any way. One of the better cream ales I’ve had, good fermentation characteristics, I just would have liked a little more body and hops.

Hazy straw color - thin head. Aroma is slighlt lemony, with notes of bread and wheat. Flavor is thin, with notes of bread, lemon,a hint of vanilla and pepper. Finishes fairly clean. It has a fairly creamy texture, but still seems a bit thin.

This one is pretty light and some creamy texture to it with a nice subtle blend of bitter tones and malty sweetness but has nothing over the top. It didn’t occur to me this was a Cream Ale until I saw the description.
