3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Interesting - you don’t see many tiny brewpubs carrying a cream ale. I was interested to try it, and was pleased to see that they chose a nice spicy hop to balance out the malt profile. Interesting.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Labeled as Rooster’s Cream Ale. Darker straw, a bit fiery, moderate frothy white head, fairly nice lacing. Soft grassy nose, a touch of husk and straw. Doesn’t seem like a sweet grassiness. Straw and hay like on the tongue. Not too husky, at least not as much as the nose suggested. Body and mouthfeel are moderate. Clean finish, a touch of sweetness emerges, lingering malty straw and hay. Decent beer.

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cereal mash aroma. Barely hazy, dark straw. Faint noble hop aroma followed by a mashed corn and graininess on the finish. Light body; drinkable blond. This one still has the training wheels on it.
