UPDATED: NOV 12, 2007 070701-Climax Cream Ale–growler-pours a thin bubbly white head and cloudy/hazy orange/gold color. Aroma is medium fruit-some citrus, yeasty, musty. Taste is medium fruit-some citrus, yeasty, musty, cream, secondary spice hops. Chalky, soapy, acidic/bitter. Disappointing beer from Dave. If I keep drinking this I’d lower score further. Three of us shared and dumped over ½ growler and three ½ pint glasses. Taste is on line with the home brewed Canadian Lager Joe, Ed and I did.

Tap at Barcade. Hazy golden-orange beer with a white head. Aroma is quite citrusy with lots of marmalade and light grapefruity citrus character. Flavour shows very light maltiness with just a touch of light crackery character. Flavour shows lots of fresh citrusy hops with just a hint of light resinousness. Fairly dry finish. It’s pretty nice. More APA than crea ale, but whatever.

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.

Draft at barcade. Pours a hazy golden body with a white head. Aroma is hoppy; earthy hops, grass, citrus and floral notes. Easy drinking beer but nothing stand out about this one. Easy to drink.
