On tap at the brewery during RBWG 2013. Pours clear yellow, lightly effervescent with a tight, white cream head. Light biscuits in here, moderate sweetness, some floral notes, hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Simple beer overall but easy drinkin’.

Made with chunks of Shamu .. . . Have always enjoyed cream ales .. . draft at bold city .. . getting corn and light wheat, maybe a touch of oats .. . clean start, a rather muddled finish .. . not my cup of mustard .. . . my neighbor burnt pancakes this morning..

Tap at Bold City. Pours a light hazy golden with a small white head. Nose is creamed corn, grain, and vanilla. Flavor is corny, grain, sweet creamy finish. I hate cream ales.

On tap at the brewery, RBWG
Appearance: Cloudy straw yellow with a big white head and good lacing
Aroma and flavors of esters, creamy wheat and fruity
Light and refreshing.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized very light white colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a softly carbonated hazy light yellow colored body and a good lacing. The mild aroma was astringent and malt hop. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start with a mellow finish with a mellow hoppy aftertaste. The mild flavor contained notes of Irish red malt astringent and hops. An OK brew just nothing special.

Sometimes you just need an easy drinking, unchallenging, simple beer. This cream ale fits the bill. Clear straw color with fleeting white head. Soft malt flavored, balanced by nondescript hops. Clean, with just a touch if sulfur.

Pours a clear golden yellow on tap with fluffy white head and light lacing. Aroma of corn malts, grain, and slight grass. Taste is the corn malts, really light and thin on the tongue. Sessionable is one thing, a miller lite replacement is another thing; this must be where they use the corn malt I saw on the brewery tour.

(12oz bottle) hazy fairly pale yellow, ring of fine offwhite bubbles. Nose is funky, artificial fruit, fruit syrup, taste of wheat, old stale grain, papery, lacking flavor and sweetness, and has some off flavors lingering in the palate.

UPDATED: NOV 3, 2012 Light golden color, very transparent. Aroma is of faint citrus and hay. Beer is light on the palate, evaporates quickly. Taste is subtle, of cream and orange peels.

7/15/12. On tap at Carmine’s. Slightly hazed golden pour with a small white head. Plain corny aroma with touches of grass and pale malts. Plain corny flavor again with touches of pale malt. Definitely nothing special, but I bet it sells.
