Bottle thanks to somebody. The smell is celery, very vegetable like, not that good. The look is clear, no head, and golden in color. The taste is boring, light, and grainy.

Growler. Pours golden color, thick creamy white head. Smells yummy. Nose of hops, light grains, a touch of vanilla, and hint of spice. Tastes of pale malts, earthy bread. Finishes with a creamy texture, with a mild bitterness.

Someone brought in to Proof on a friday night. Wasn’t my favorite - peach and yeast aroma. Thin light malt and citrus - peas and tea - 5.8

Growler. Pours gold. White head. Nose/taste of light hops, vanilla, orange cream and sweet malt. Medium body. Decent.

(Sample Date: 3/6/2011 Source:Other) Moderately fruity with some spicy yeast and grain notes. Almost citrusy. Slightly cloudy light straw golden with tall fine white head. Fairly bitter with some fruity almost citrusy hop flavor. Grainy. Bit over the top for a classic cream ale for hops and gravity. Moderately sweet finish.

9/3/10. Thanks, jtclockwork! Light, fruity and corny aroma with a light, fruity, vegetal, tea-like, and surprisingly bitter.

Overall pretty good beer for the style. Had out of a 64 oz growled poured golden yellow with a decent white head. Taste was mild with slight citrus and grassy flavors.

Growler thanks to bu11zeye. Thought it sounded tasty from Chad’s review so I thought I would upload my review. Pours with a slightly hazed golden body and a decent white head. Aroma of fruit, citrus, grain and adjunct. Actually, I hate using this, but it smells like your stereotypical beer that you think of before you knew about craft beer. Taste is astringently grainy and earthy, vegital, soil and adjuncts. Lively mouthfeel with a dry finish. I came no where near to climaxing nor creaming after having this unmemorable cream ale. . . Sorry. That said it is surprisingly drinkable.

(Big delicious 64oz growler thanks to bu11zeye) clear orange with no head. Nose of bitter root vegetables, celery and honey. Taste of earth, celery, spicy, alcohol with a creamy bitter finish. This is not good. Not very impressed overall with the "Cream Ale" style.

Thanks to bullzeye for sharing this growler. The beer pours a yellow color with a white head. The aroma is not inviting at all. The only things I pick up are celery and asparagus. The initial flavors are very similar to the smell with notes of vegetables, metal and wheat. As the beer airs out a little bit the taste gets better. I get notes of lemons, citrus fruit and bready malt. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
