A nitrokeg, The Cedars, Leicester. Took ages to pour, quality takes time. Golden with a thick head of foam. Aromas are thin malts with light creaminess. Flavours are creamy, light and inoffensive, if bland. The commercial description is correct, although I don’t believe its authentic.

Draft at the Highlander near Windsor Castle. Medium sized white creamy head. Transparent, uncarbonated and a gold orange hue. Malty aroma was all I got from this one. Malty, hoppy and somewhat bitter flavor. Palate was smooth and a little tingly. Excellent lacing.

The DM & Hotstuff’s European Honeymoon trip beer number 2. This draft brew from a small pub near Windsor Castle poured a medium sized creamy head of long lasting bubbles that left behind a golden amber body. It had a nice malt hop aroma with a thin initial mouth feel and a good smooth malty finish.

Tinned. Pale amber with nitrofizz. Thinly flavoured malty brew, not the worst I’ve had because it does deliver some flavour through the suds, but still poor.

Extremely smooth and creamy, almost invisible aroma, a bit soapy and bitter. An everyday beer.

UPDATED: APR 1, 2004 Very nice creamy, easy drinking pint. Why 'American' Cream Ale ? ..In Scotland it states 'Premium' Cream Ale and is brewed here.

UPDATED: MAY 3, 2003 Smooth, easy drinking -even if MODERATE consumption is the order of the day.

Typical of a beer of this type. An unchallenging drink that, although quite creamy is a little lacking in flavour. Its fairly week flavour belies its strength. A good beer if high consumption is the order of the day.
