Anderson Valley Summer Solstice Cerveza Crema

Brewed by Anderson Valley Brewing Company
Style: Cream Ale
Boonville, California USA

Bottle. Small ivory fizzy head that mostly diminished, poor lacing, fast rising carbonation, murky, and an orange brown hue. Nose was malty, spicy, sweet, caramel, and some toffee. Flavor was sweet, malty, caramel, spicy, thin, watery, and light on hops. Tingly, watery and thin mouthfeel. Light body. Not much balance and just so-so. Nothing to get really excited about IMO.

pours clear amber with a small off white head and crazy visible carbonation. aroma burnt orange and caramel with a bit of citric hops. flavor sweet orange and light caramel. medium body. crisp lively carbonation. finish strange almost artificial orange cream flavor with a bit of spice. decent summer beer.

Bottle pours a hazy dark amber, with a modest, light tan head. Fairly quickly dissipates to a thin soapy ring that still leaves nice lined of lacing. Soft aroma of light malts, vanilla and banana. Flavor is pale, light on the hops and a gentle light malt flavor. A session beer I suppose, but not very interesting.l very little bitterness on the trailer, but a nice bodya dn feel. Lightly carbonated.

Bottle. Pours murky copper with a thick foamy beige head. Aroma is toasty, banana, and light malts. Flavor is malty with notes of lemony citrus and honey with a sweet bready finish.

Another nice beer from a good brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a chestnut color with a small light tan head. The aroma is light sweet malts. The flavor is sweet and tangy light malts with a hint of fruit. The mouthfeel is smooth and the finish is crisp. My kind of session beer.

i already rated this one but i wasnt logged in so ratebrew didnt save my rating. i hate that shite. they need to hook up a fix up to fix that shite. anywayz. this brew is creamy as fuk. was wack cuz i was freezing my ass off in short shorts and no socks while drinking it in a foggy windy ass park in san francisco. probably wouldnt purchase this one again. check my recent ratings for some better summer brews. this one is lackluster.

pours a deep amber. Aroma is of caramel and toffee. Taste is sweet caramel and toffee, with not much to balance it out. Sweet finish.

Pours an intense burnt orange with a velvety yet light head. Smells of toffee, orange zest and spice. The flavor is fruity and spicy and yet not overbearing in anyway. A slightly sweet finish that takes the edge off of a hot summer day. Very smooth on the palate, lingering just a bit. I had quite a few on a family beach trip and will do it again next year.
