does not count  May 4, 2008 Ususally I like to dismiss summer beers as bland and flavorless but this example is quite stunning despite its low percentile ranking here. Mouthfeel is very smooth and creamy as the label implies. The real star of this beer, however is the masterful flavor. Strong caramel, fresh fruit, even traces of vanilla linger. Another winner from AVBC.

May 3, 2008 2008 Bottle - Pours reddish orange with an orange head, smells kinda like freshly caught fish, creamy palate, seems to coat your mouth with milk, malted and slightly bitter, this is not what I think about for the summer (or any other time of year for that matter)...

Apr 21, 2008 Poured a copper-dark amber, good clarity with a small off-white head, few lacings. Slight excess of carbonation.
Aroma is sweet and floral.
First sip is sweet malts. Second taste is the same with a slight rich bitterness.
I caught a suggestion of vanilla and a bit of pepper. Palate is average.
Overall a refreshing sweet cream ale. Not sure where the cream part is. Maybe the smoothness of it. A pleasant enough beer, a bit too much abv for lengthy sessions though. Served about 55 deg. F.

Apr 15, 2008 It is copper colored, I’ll give it that. It has a foamy head for about half a minute. Tastes of carbon dioxide and... not much else. It’s rather fizzy and makes me burp a lot. I have to say that this was a bit of a disappointment.

Apr 12, 2008 Dec. 2007 - An odd brew worth trying, even if I’m not sure I really enjoyed it. Deep copper color with smallish head and little lacing. Not much by way of an aroma. The flavor was an odd blend of citrus/berry fruits, vanilla and a certain earthiness that was hard to describe. It reminded me of drinking a cookie.
