growler @Cajun Fest-pours amber with an offwhite head. Aroma is soft caramel. Taste is caramel/cookie-light/medium malt, hint of hops. Easy.

A reddish amber ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, smooth creme brule and caramel malt with light grassy hops. In mouth, a smooth sweet grassy met with light grassy hops, a bit of creme brule, OK. On tap at brewpub, Feb. 13 2013.

UPDATED: JUN 20, 2012 Draft… Treasure Coast Beer Fest 2011… Hazy amber ale with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Fantastic retention. I’m not pulling an awful lot from the nose; maybe some caramel – inoffensive, at the very least. Light-bodied and thin with modest carbonation. The flavor offers caramel, sugar cookie and vanilla. Finishes crisp and bittersweet. The flavor is very reminiscent of Anderson Valley’s Cerveza Crema. Nice.

From the growler at Cajun Cafe Fall Fest 2012. Pours a copper-caramel color with a white head. Nose is big caramel with some mild sweetness and light grassy bitterness. Flavor is like a caramel creme with the sweetness being the dominant flavor. Light in body and pretty sessionable; enjoyable beer.

On draft at Due South for their Grand Opening. Had heard about this beer from prior events so I was jazzed to try this one. Slight caramel cream notes with a tad bit of funk. Heard this batch may have been sub par so I’ll give Due South a break here. Will definitely try again though.

On draft at the brewery, poured an amber color, aromas of caramel cream, and light malt. Flavors are all caramel, and some light candy, real sweet overall, lots of caramel, and very sessionable.

On tap at Due South. Pours clear amber with white head. Aromas of caramel and some malt. Flavor is heavy with caramel and finishes sweet and refreshing. As far cream ales go this was pretty nice.

Tap. Moderate roasted grain for the malt, light herbs for the hops, with cola, caramel and farts in the background. Head is small, frothy, off-white with a spot or two of lacing and is almost fully diminishing. Color is hazy medium brown. Flavor starts faintly sweet, moderately acidic and a bit sour, then finishes lightly acidic and bitter and again sour. Palate is light to medium, watery with a lively carbonation. An easy drinking Cream Ale, nothing too outstanding though.

On tap at Dixie. Cream soda like flavors with sweet camel malt undertones. Decent body, carbonation, and mouthfeel. It’s actually better than I expected..

I was able to drink this beer effortlessly and with great pleasure. Sweetish but nowhere near cloying, minimal hop presence. An excellent restaurant beer.
