Commercial Description:
Brewed with flaked barley and the finest Wisconsin malts. We even give a nod to our farmers with a little hint of corn. Naturally cloudy we allow the yeast to remain in the bottle to enhance fullness of flavors, which can not be duplicated otherwise. Expect this Ale to be fun, fruity and satisfying.

12 o.z bottle (2009) had six months down the road in a lager glass; pours the color of an American mass-market pale lager (i.e. clear yellow/golden) albeit marginally hazier, w/ a decent soap sud head that diminishes into some robust lacing; aroma is slightly fruity w/ sweet cereals and a little malt; flavor is clean and unfortunately spineless- a little cereal, more hops than I would have expected, a little maltiness; finish is short and grape-like. Refreshing when had cold in the summer, but a rather tame brew on the whole

One of Wisconsin’s best. Always enjoyable, and always your top choice when it comes to New Glarus. Great all around.

On tap. Pours a hazy golden-amber with a small white head. Light aroma, of spices, malt, and citrus. Taste is spicy, of candied citrus, malt, hops, and yeast. Lingering spicy carbonated bite. Decent.

Bottle via trade as an extra thanks to oach on BA. Pours a mostly clear golden-yellow color with a one-finger white head. Aroma is a lot like a pale lager, with corn and grain along with pale malt. Flavor is slightly sweet with pale malt and quite a bit of corn. Some nice fruity notes differentiate it from crappy BMC beers and the like. Clean and crisp on the palate with a smooth, almost creamy mouthfeel that works really well. Highly drinkable. This isn’t by any means an amazing beer, but it does what it sets out to and matches up well against other cream ales. This is your quintessential lawnmower beer, a good choice for a hot day when you might otherwise consider resorting to BMC.

Bottle from jprime (BA). Nice floral aroma (lavender), yeast, banana and lemon peel. Nice sharp hoppy bitterness, citrus and slightly malty finish, a little shy. Full and creamy palate for the style. Very enjoyable starter.

Given to me by a customer of mine. Bottle at home. He said this one was his favorite, but I much preffered the stone soup. It’s a solid ale, nothing too particular to recomend in this one. But, like most cream ales, its a session beer that grew into a reasonable craft beer as well. Try it once, and then pass it on to the firends you’re trying to turn into a craft beer lover.

Pours a very light yellow color,Aroma is of banana bread. A hint of corn in the flavor. Somewhat unbalanced with low hops.
