Commercial Description:
This copper colored ale is a silky, creamy dream. It’s malty, very mildly hopped, and lightly sweet, with a delicate hint of spice for that oh-so-drinkable, extra velvety flavor. A cool beer for the heat, whatever your latitude!

Bottle at Kuma’s. This, to me, is not a cream ale at all, but what do I know. Pour is dark orange/copper. Nose is intersting, with some fruity pebbles and fruit, a little honey. Taste reminded me immediately of hot serial with a little sugar. Overall, a very drinkable and tasty beer, thought not my favorite summer. Nice enough, though.

Bottle from the Utah State liquor store. Pours a clear ruby with a small off-white head. The aroma is very interesting; fruity, almost watermelon notes along with sweet caramel and candy. Very nice. The taste was just decent; some sweet caramel and honey, a good malt presence, and overall a very creamy and easygoing body. Nice. I really liked that aroma.

Poured a fluffy, hazyish orange-copper body with a nice thickish whitish head. Creamy, sticky, fruity, biscuit nose. Chewy, orange-sicle appeal. Too sweetness and spicy going on. A little too artificial and gratuitous, yet overall pretty drinkable brew.

Bottle. Pours clear coppery amber with a thin and fading off-white head. Nutty caramel aroma with a little spice. Creamy medium body, moderate carbonation. The taste is nice, kind of sweet, but a bit artificial, like some vanilla extract was tossed in. It ends being half-way between beer and vanilla cream soda. Soft, floral, dry finish.

Pours a pretty deep copper colour with a small white head. It had a very creamy texture full of nuttiness, particularly almonds. A sweet caramel malted finish. While it starts semi sweet it lingers on a little dry.

Received a single 12-oz bottle via trade with 5000. Pours a clear copper amber brew with a thin and fast dissolving off-white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and thin white ring. Aroma of light caramel malt, some flowery hops, a touch of sweet cream, fruity pears and a touch of butter. Taste is smooth and creamy, very light carbonation with a soothing texture and flavor of butter, caramel malt, some light whipping cream, and a touch of vanilla. Finish is slightly silky and semi-sweet with a light aftertaste of caramel and vanilla character that slowly disappears. Very memorable and enjoyable.
