3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A little thin-looking for a cream ale and doesn’t have the aroma either. This mostly tastes like a pale ale; way too hoppy for a cream ale. All that aside, still a fairly tasty beer.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
22 oz bottle, from brewery. Pours a clear dark gold body with a minimal partial covering of white head that retained as a thin ring. The nose is pretty light, but it’s clean at least. A little bit of a sugary overtone with some light bready malt. The flavor is pretty nice actually, a little sweet with some light fruitiness and a little bit of bread dough on the finish. Light bodied with some soft light carbonation. Pretty nice overall, above average for the style.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
22 oz bottle. Pours golden and clear with a light white head. Light biscuit like grain aroma, fairly crisp. Light crisp grain, very light dry earthy hops, but malty overall. Some off flavors in the finish. Simple. Fairly light, semi-dry body. Nothing exciting.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Short Phil apparently sells this for 25 cents at his cream ale stand (funny label). Medium gold body with a thick fluffy head. Aroma is sweet and a little fruity. Taste is light and refreshing - sweet malt and lemony citrus, slightly fizzy palate. Light spice/pepper bite in the finish. I bought this at the end of December, 2004 - It’d be better suited to summer drinking, but it’s a nice palate cleanser before moving on to more barleywines and imperial stouts!
2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle: Deep gold / a short lived white head. A little apple cidery and worty, dusty dry malt aroma. Very low fruitiness. I expected some corn/DMS, but it does not seem to be in the aroma. Very well balanced, but plain! A little grainy malt, light corn flavor, and fairly clean. Higher carbonation, light but not watery body, light biting m/f from carbonation. Good lawnmower beer, but that’s about it!
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Large fizzy white head and fine-medium sized bubbles that fully diminished. Carbonated, transparent and a gold hue. Malty, sweet and fruity aroma. Sweet, acidic, lightly bitter, and malt flavor from start to finish. Tingly, watery, thin mouthfeel. Light bodied beer with sparse lacing.
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
This bottled brew poured a large head of fine to large sized white colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body was transparent carbonated and orange in color. It had a mild malt hop aroma and a smooth malt hop mouth feel with a mild tingly malt hop finish. It had a malt hop flavor that was sweet well balanced.
