Commercial Description:
This top fermenting amber-colored ale is brewed using generous amounts of malt and kettle hops. The trademark of this ale is its beautiful hop bouquet and taste that comes from a liberal dry hopping of the highest grade Cascade hops during the secondary fermentation. The malt firmness of this ale comes from the perfect mixture of two-row malted barley, carapils, and caramel specialty malts. The ale has an original gravity of 1060 and is fermented at 65 degrees farenheight which imparts the classic ale fruitiness to the brew.

Nice looking pale ale. Almost medium-bodied, flavor is aight, but the finish is so sour it makes me feel like I’m sucking on a lemon. Would be an aight brew if it would have held up until the end.

Bottle. Pours with a...gusher?! WTF. Why the hell do I rate at my computer. Thank god for trash cans right next to it. Who would have expected a damn pale ale to gush?! Cleaned up. Big white head. Hazed golden body. Aroma is odd, possibly infected. Windex, citrus, pitted fruit. Strong solvent. Taste is faded, eww. Finishes metallic and slightly sour. What a mess. Infected. Fizzy. What the hell!

Deep gold with very light head and alce. Light citrus, and malt on the nose. A soapy flavor with some bitter. Thin and watery. It looked and smelled like a beer.

First of all, this wins the award for the name that sounded the dirtiest. I mean, c’mon, Cream City? Would take the kids to see a movie called "Cream City"? That being said, it was a nice citrusy pale ale, nothing too unusual, nothing off or offensive. Thanks to decaturstevo for this one!

12oz. Huge and rocky slightly off white head, almost like overcarbonated homebrew. Aroma is spicy fruit, quite intriguing. Up front flavor is ’kick you in the face’ grapefruit. Anyone wondering what cascade hops taste like should taste this brew. Wonderful fruity malt flavor which supports and compliments the cascade. Only slightly bitter finish, which keeps things from lasting too long but still gives you something to chew. I really like this, will probably like it better a little cooler, say 45F. Yay beer!

Bottle. Pours a copper color. Grainy and hoppy aroma with some citrus. Flavor is better than I expected. Good mouthfeel. Surprise.
