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!

Pours a dark copper brown with a medium white head. Aroma is sour fruit. Taste is sour cherries and cream.Very smooth and easy to drink but pretty boring after a while. It reminds me of a sour cream soda without any sweetness.

Sampled as part of a sixer. A really nice summer brew. Pours crystal clear with a light brown hue. A good taste of spice with mild hops and malts. A really nice drink.

Had this in the can at The brewery. It was a good surprise for a nice clean summer beer. Very easy to drink, and it seemed to be a big hit with the disk golfers loading 6 packs into there carry bags and heading out to Anderson Valley Brewing’s disk golf course right behind the brewery!!! Cant wait to go back to Boonville and get the growler filled.

Bottle->footed pilsner: Pours a huge brown head atop a murky, clear body. Mild orange aroma. The body is medium with a creamy texture, finishing astringently. An OK beer, but I must admit that while the creaminess appealed to me when I was considering this beer, in the end it was a little cloying.

Faint cherry aroma.Clear copper, thin head. Tastes of creamy cherries. Tinny and malty palate. My first cream ale that is actually creamy. Still, I’d rather have something else.

I am not a fan of summer beers much less sweet beers but this is probably the best one I have come accross. It pours a nice copper color with sweetness in the nose. The first sip was malty with hints of vanilla and a slight hop flavor in the finish. A very unique beer

This beer is indeed creamy. Not a bad casual beer. This one is very drinkable but not a high quality beer. It is more like cream soda crossed with beer. Reminds me of a beerfrom college, Gennesee Cream Ale. Thumbs up on a warm day.

Bottle from Sam’s. Pours clear copper with thin off-white head. Smells of caramel, toffee, sugar, mild vanilla. Toasted coconut? Slight tea-like notes. Reminds me of Winter Solstice without all the spice. Taste is tough. Very sweet, creamy, and kinda like candy corn. Weird in a good but mostly bad way. Not sure if I’ll drink this whole bottle.
