COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Flavor of a fine ale and the smoothness of a premium lager.

Smells like an old musty boiler room. Has a sweet but lighter malt flavor finishing smoothly. Not as bad as I thought it would be but nothing to brag about. Still, I won’t buy it again.

A very simple classic. For a cream ale it has the sweetness but is incredibly light. A hint a skunk rounds out the aroma and taste. Easy to drink and very light with next to no flavor.

we need to remember that this is an american cream ale and need to judge it for that nice golden pour with some head and lacing grainy malty adjunct in flavor and aroma but a very drinkable for what it is

phishpond417 (2089) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - MAY 28, 2008
this brew pours a light golden colour, with a finger sized white head that leaves a little lacing. bread, paper in the taste and a slight bitterness in the finish.

Sort of drinkable in a pinch. The one I am rating this off of is sort of metallic in taste. Probably from the can. Otherwise not terribly good, though nice in color.

a cream ale that well tastes a lot like a light beer. Very hoppy, no real head, goes down smooth a finishes somewhat bitter. ok to try but will probably never buy this beer again. Not what i was expecting.

Hmmm...interesting beer. I don’t mean that in a good way. Just well, I was expecting a bit more, and this wasn’t it. Tastes an awful lot like a typical MGD Macro style with a little bit more flavor. Eh...for the same price I can get a decent Micro...
