Commercial Description:
This beer is brewed to be released on the summer solstice each year to help usher in the hot months A Cream Ale is an adaptation of the American light lager style, chiefly involving fermentation of the beer as an ale followed by a period of cold conditioning. Flaked corn and corn sugar is added as a grain adjuncts to keep the beer light-bodied & colored as well as adding a smooth crispness. Pale straw in color with a Low hop bittering and some hop aroma. This beer is made with German Pilsner, Flaked corn & corn sugar and German Magnum & American Santiam hops.

Decent beer. Obviously had at Gaslight. Tastes kind of watered down. The only reason I got it was because it was the highest alcohol % beer. Just okay.

on tap-pours a thin white head that laces and yellow color. Aroma is mild wheat. Taste is wheat and secondary/faint light hops. Almost a standard American wheat, although it’s a nicely done cream. Mild/OK carbonation.

Draft sample at Gaslight. Poured a clear amber color with an average frothy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Light sweet hoppy aroma. Light to medium body. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Every brewer needs a light beer.

Ugh. Pours a light modest golden, clear, thin white head. Aroma is cream alright- creamed corn- DMS, and light smoke and almost band-aidy rancid. More band-aid in the flavor and hints of gross smoke matchstick sulphur with citrus and light gritty malts. This is a good example of a beer with a dirty or unsanitized transfer lines due to the band-aid characteristic.

6/25/05 at Garden State Brewfest. I’d say this ranked 2nd place among the 3 beers Gaslight brought. While this mayb be good for a hot day there are a number of cream ales that do the job in a much better way.

At the 2005 Garden State Brewfest. A decent cream ale that was nice on the warm summers day. Drinkable, very light colored. Better than their lager, however.
