Pale straw color with a white head that quickly fades away. Aroma of corn and cereal -like malts. Faint sweetness, some cornmeal and malt flavors. Highly carbonated.

Draft. Pours really pale yellow with medium white head. Nose of sweet grain Taste is sweet corn and grain with ever so subtle hops. Not really memorable.

12oz can. Cloudy yellow color. Loads of floaties sunk to bottom of glass. White whispy head. Aroma of Wheaties cereal, or even Corn Flakes. Heavy grain nose. Sweet taste, flavors of corn. Finishes clean, very refreshing. Light bodied. Overall, it reminds me of a clean\controlled fermentation of a Sour Mash before you cooked the alcohol off... (3438)

wedgie9 (1590) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - AUG 8, 2012
Tasted on 8/8/12 from a 12oz can purchased at Bruisin’ Ales. Pours clear orange with an average white head that recedes fairly quickly to a thin head. The nose is corny bread malt with a creamy note, and just a faint touch of spicy hops. The flavor is a bit more hops focused with a touch of orange peel, and the same creamed corn malt note. The body is medium with average carbonation and a short creamed corn and lightly spicy hops finish.

Drake (6497) - Ivy, Virginia, USA - JUL 31, 2012
12 ounce can shared by Mama V. Thanks! Pours a hazy amber color with a thin creamy white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of toasted malts, corn, nutty notes. The taste is very similar with a grassy finish. Medoum bodied and refreshing. Nice cream ale.

Draft at Barley’s in Asheville. When I ordered this I thought it was a Saison or funky Belgian. Obviously, not the case. It’s golden colored and was served with a thin head. Not funky at all; lemon, wheat, grass, earth notes. A good easy drinking beer to relax too but I thought it might be better.

Hussey (60) - North Carolina, USA - MAR 23, 2012
Can from Bruisin’ Ales (Asheville). Cool Crumb-like art on the can. Pleasant quality pilsner aroma. Pours hazy yellow with thin head. Light refreshing body. Feels like a hybrid of a lager/pilsner and a wit. Floral and dry to the palate. A great lawnmower brew.

tmongoose (668) - Louisville, Kentucky, USA - SEP 6, 2011
on draft at barleys...pale yellow with little white head and not much lacing. tastes quite light and floral with some fruity undertones. just now realizing its a cream ale and just not a fan.

argo0 (10388) - Washington DC, USA - AUG 10, 2011
Draft. Lightly hazed straw body, small white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, corn, some bread, light spicy. Taste is moderately sweet, corn, cream, some bread, light lemon. Light-medium body, somewhat creamy. What with the standard association with the word, the beer should lose the "farmhouse." Otherwise, it’s an adequate Cream Ale.
