Cedar Cream Ale is an easy drinking, amber coloured ale. Brewed in the North-American style of cream ales, its sweet subtle nose is derived from the addition of cedar chips during fermentation and ageing. Pairs well with BBQ dishes such as steak and hamburgers.

Golden-orange, very thin white head, no lacing. Aroma is grainy, herbal, wheaty, light sweetness. Flavour is moderately sweet, grainy, some dirt. Watery sweet mouthfeel, light body, medium carbonation. Finishes quick, thin, water and very sweet.

Trafalgar always bores me but yet I can’t stop buying their beers. This one is no different.

341ml bottle purchased at the LCBO in Peterborough, Ontario.
Opened on March 20, 2009.
Best before July 2009.

Amber pour with a very thick, sticky white head. It’s actually a pretty good-looking pour. The nose is lightly minty with a bit of crackery character. The nose is full of dirty diacetyl and woody hops. Ugh – this really sucks.

341 ml bottle courtesy of a trade with Boutip. Pours a very hazy antique gold with a thin, sloppy white head, despite pouring down the center of the glass, which disappears after the first sip and leaves no lace. Very weak aroma of malt along with a few equally light notes of cedar. The flavor is mild malt with a bit of cedar emerging towards the finish and into the aftertaste. No hops presence to speak of. Dull and uninteresting.

Oured with little head that dissipated quickly. Strong scent of honey. Taste however doesn’t suggest much sweetness. Can definately taste a hint of what I smell when camping. Overall though not enough to make it stand out. Nice drink though. I would definately drink it again were it offered to me, not sure I’d buy it again though...

light brown copper, little head. nose; all over the place, im picking up a ton, apricots, dried dark fruits, sweet rolls, mint, earthy, mushrooms, wet wood and grass, subtle hop sharpness. taste; cedar picks up at the finish, somewhat smokey like, dried fruits, more cedar when it warms, pretty good.

Poured medium gold with no head. Aroma is pretty much straight up apple juice for me. A hint of caramel maltiness. Very low carbonation. Flavour is fruity and sweet malt, I can kind of imagine I can taste what the cedar imparted by it’s hard to identify exactly. Soft slightly sour finish.

bottle. Poured dark amber with an off-white head. Warm applejuice and light hop aroma. Creamy but flat mouthfeel. Notes of caramel and apple cider. Finsh lingers with a dry light alcohol aftertaste.
