Jun 28, 2009 Bottle. Medium to dark amber body, clear. Off-white, diminishing fizzy head. Mild nose of malty caramel, toffee, grain, sugar candy and Coke. Slight hint of vinegar. The flavor is moderately to heavily sweet and very lightly bitter. It finishes moderately sweet with an slight astringency. Medium body with a watery texture that turns creamy. Moderate carbonation. Like drinking a sweet soft drink without the fizz, especially red pop. Tastes of cotton candy and cherry. No thanks.

Jun 27, 2009 Experienced from a 12oz bottle in a pub glass. The beer poured the expected color of just slightly darker than a pale ale, with a white head. Given the quality of Anderson Valley’s Winter Solstice, I was interested in trying this beer. The nose led me to realize what a sham it truly was. The nose was an off-putting combination of nothing and the slightest bit of staled malt. The palate tasted of canned corn, rice, and fizz. Ghastly.

Jun 25, 2009 On tap. Run-of-the-mill but fine aroma, somewhat dark appearance. Nice, smooth malty and slightly hoppy flavor, but overall somewhat mild. I did drink it very quickly, so it’s definitely "drinkable".

Jun 22, 2009 Tap at ACBF 2009: Hazy orange pour with a dense tan film. Rubbery oddly phenolic aroma- off flavor with a light feel. Vacant grainy flavor- nondescript and macro feeling- near no hop character. Very boring.

Jun 18, 2009 Updated: Jun 19, 2009Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly’s, 6/18/09
Aroma: Light nose: caramel, malts, some light spice
Appearance: Clear orange-copper color
Flavor: Nice sweet/sugary flavor, caramel flavor comes through pretty well, cream, light flowery hops
Palate:Light body, drinks really nicely
Overall Impression:
This is a pretty good beer, I like what they did here with the cream ale. It’s a pretty good example of the style, and a nice beer in general.

Jun 14, 2009 I appreciate a brewery being brave enough to produce the unusual, but I don’t like the taste of this one. Not too sweet or too dry, good texture. Flavor is a citrus, herbal, and slightly flowery.

Jun 14, 2009 There is a very malty smell to this cream ale.It looks more like a brown ale than a summer ale, which is where the cream comes in. I love the name and the label, but the beer is just okay,not great. It is easy on the palate because it is not bitter or hoppy, but has a cream flavor just as the name describes.
