3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
How I miss Blatz Light Cream Ale, which was only made by this brewery when it was Heileman’s. I still miss it. Light golden color with a mild floral/malt aroma. Some corn flavors you might expect in a cream ale but these distract a bit in this one. Some light fruit flavors in the finish.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Thin whote head. The body s a bright gold and does not appear appetizing. The smell is skunky with dirt. Wierd since I bought this with other City brews and none of them were skunked. The taste is a slightly caramel with a little cream. Medium mouthfeel. Nice try, but this one misses with me.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Hops, malt aroma, golden, small white head. Some hops taste, slight bitterness afterwards. Light bodied, average.
1.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
A grainy, adjunct-ridden cream ale that goes down a little harshly, like listening to a Ministry album or watching Madonna act. Oddly sweet, and the alcohol tastes like it's about 7%. Nasty stuff with a slight hop/herbal bite and some sourness. Consider yourself warned.

I just rated this brew and couldn’t add it due to getting error codes and i have Only a swallow left for rating.Golden color,small head,mild malt aroma mildly sweet with a nice floral hop hint.The flavor was much the same as the aroma with a decent hop presence coming through.Thanks to GrainbeltGuzzler for this fine brew.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
City Brewery's best overall brew, edging out the Pale Ale. With all of the capacity that City Brewery has, why is it that their 6 primary labels are nearly indistinguishable, bland lagers? (La Crosse Lager & Light, City Lager & Light, Kul & Kul Light). They really need some variety. Anyway, the Cream Ale's distinguishing characteristic is its relatively considerable hop bitterness, which is electrified by extreme carbonation. Doesn't score many points for aesthetics, and is not "creamy" at all. A little too dry; could use some sweetness to play off the bitterness.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 8/20
UPDATED: JUL 27, 2004 Thin fizzy head, goldish-yellow color. Not much aroma at all. Wtf is this? Flavor is very light... all I can really taste is a sweet hoppiness. Too watery and too much carbonation bite.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Light floral hop aroma. Decent malt character, does not come off as being adjuncty. Hop flavor comes and goes without leaving too distinct an impression. This beer definitley has ale characteristics, with an underlying fruitiness.
