Commercial Description:
An ultra-premium, all-malt Cream Ale at 5% alc./vol. Mid-gold colour with a fresh, bread-like malt nose enhanced by fruity hop aromatics. Flavours of fresh malt, subtle sweetness, floral hops and pleasant ale fruitiness all combine to produce a Canadian classic Cream Ale. A moderate hop bitterness and creamy mouthfeel round off the flavour experience. Food pairing suggestions include chowders, sushi, teriyakis, salmon and tuna dishes, corn-on-the-cob, fruit cakes, and brick and colby cheeses.

[1576-20080810] Tap. Mild grains aroma. Clear, bright orange body with a long-lasting creamy white head. Candied vanilla grains flavour. Medium body. Interesting flavour.

Sampler. Weak in aroma and a thin flavour. Smooth texture, little sweet. A bit dull and forgettable.

Small head, grassy aroma. Not much flavour to speak of, a bit of toffee sweetness that disappears into a metallic tang. Not sure I’d buy this again.

Bottle sample, Canadian Brewing Awards 07. Medium yellow, small white head. Mild malt sweetness in aroma - nothing harsh, smells fresh actually. Taste - more of the same, cream malt sweetness you expect from a decently done Canadian Cream Ale - this one was actually bordering on flavourful. Again, nothing off-putting, a decent light ale actually, surprised me a bit. Still not a great fan of this style.

Draught. At 2007 Fort York TFOB. Clear, oily-looking gold pour with a decent fizzy off-white diminishing head. Aroma of creamed corn, light plastic and cereal grain. The taste - quite light, cereal grain, generic very light floral dry stale hop bitterness, and just to convince me I wasn’t hallucinating, a hint of corn and PVC waiting to take over if I were STUPID enough to let this sucker warm up at all. Light bodied with a very quick finish, and only a slightly "off" aftertaste; not really bad, mostly just boring - drink this f*&ker cold!
