laguerita (111), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jun 15, 2008 bottle. great orange-y color. tasted strangely fruity not much cream anything. the bitterness didn’t compliment it too well, but it was still pretty drinkable. NobleSquirrel (1099), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jun 14, 2008 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. douglas88 (1556), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Jun 13, 2008 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. Angeloregon (2024), Portland, Oregon, USA Jun 9, 2008 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. bitbucket (2026), Kirkland, Washington, USA Jun 4, 2008 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. phishpond417 (1861), Madison, Wisconsin, USA May 30, 2008 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. Skyview (4007), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA May 27, 2008 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. carruthm (1111), Seattle, Washington, USA May 27, 2008 Updated: May 16, 2009V - red colored, clear with a small head.
