2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle from The City Beverage Co, Old Street. Popped in to grab a Goose Island Root Beer and saw this little beauty in the fridge. As cream ales are few and far between I thought I might as well give it a go. Pours a clear gold with a quickly dissipating white head. Nose is sweet and sugary, dunno if it’s just the mindset of thinking cream ale but it actually smelled like cream soda. Underneath are the usual suspects, grainy, corney malts and a hint of metallic hop. Odd but, as a big fan of cream soda, I can’t help but kinda like it in a way. Still, have to admit, the root beer was better.

UPDATED: OCT 23, 2008 12 oz can on my journeys back east. Creamy look and creamy taste, much more flavorful than the typical canned macrobrew, you can actually taste some hops in this thing and it went down damn smooth.

I may rate this a little low because I grew up with this beer or because it is just mass produced for the non-working class. Not a lot of flavor for those who do not like beer it may not be bad.
