A really solid beer. Beautiful Golden color with a head that seems to last forever. Real sweet malty flavor that is really good on a limited basis.

If you can find it on tap, drink it, otherwise, leave it on the shelf.

Non-destinct aroma with a good head. Nice golden appearance. Smooth flavor with not alot of character. Light malt and light on the hops. A little sweet (corn)? Middle of the road carbonation. Better then I expected anyway.

Built in the home of the world’s largest six pack. City Cream ale is much better than the other versions of this drink except of course for the New Glarus. Call me crazy but this tastes good. Underrated in my view. If more people had tried this their point of view might echo mine or I just love wisconsin beer. Thank you JPDIPSO for getting me this brand of beer.

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.

Hmmm. Much to my surprise I actually like this. Again, like other City Brewery beers, it's not a standout in its field, but this one has some flavor and has a nice if somewhat ordinary hop floral character in aroma and taste.

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.

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.
