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!

Copper pour with off-white thick head that dissipated fairly quickly. There is a little malt and spice in the faint aroma. Starts out a little sweet with some vanilla but kind of ends up with sour fruit. The aftertaste isn’t too pleasing, but it is just about perfect on the palate for a cream ale. I originally remember really liking this but the past few times haven’t done it for me. I had a Genny Cream before this one and actually liked it better; maybe I’m crazy today.

Pours gold with a generous white head. Smells of some light hops, caramel, doughy. Tastes light and malty with a hint of a citrus note.

12oz Bottle. Pours a clear medium amber with one finger tan head. Nose is light citrus and vanilla. Taste is toffee, vanilla, spice and tangy citrus. Medium mouth feel. An ok beer.

This is a strange little beer. Bottle from SunDevil. Looks and smells great - like an eisbock, actually. But the flavor is so thin and delayed. The whole experience is in the finish, with a watery yeastiness for the first two thirds. Ends with a sharp crust and almost old grain texture.

12 oz. Clear dark brown with a small spit of creamy foam. Molasses and chocolate aroma. Tastes of caramel, chocolate, vanilla cream and slight woody herb hops. Light-medium body is very lightly carbonated and has just enough dryness on the end.
