Brewed by Aiken Brewing Company
Style: Cream Ale
Aiken, South Carolina USA

Serve in Footed Pilsner, Lager glass

Draught at the brewpub. Pours yellow with virtually no head. The aroma is light vanilla and lemon, some grain, and not much else. The flavor is a grainy sweetness with hints of corn and vanilla, and maybe a little bit of lemon. Meh.

On sample tray. Pour is light yellow with foamy white head. Scent is, um light and so is the taste. IMO Aiken’s first dud.

This beer was just weird for me. Golden yellow with a musty, metallic nose. Weird creaminess on the palate with an underlying metallic note. I know it’s supposed to be creamy, but this just didn’t work--it tasted like a creamy Bud Lite.

Gold with white head and lace. Light saaz like hops. Medium malt and a hint of corn followed by a light bitter. Good carbonation and mouth feel. Pretty well done for me.

on tap-pours a white head and pale yellow color. Aroma is grassy, grain. Taste is sweet light malt/grain, grassy/slight spice hops. This is not your High Falls Genny Cream.
