COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Traditionally Cream Ales are fermented using lager yeast at "ale" temperatures, then slowly lowered down to "lager", taking the yeast from the top down to Davy Jones’ Locker.

porterhouse (1544) - Alna, USA - JAN 10, 2012
(22 oz from Oak Street Provisions) Golden, just a bit of haze. Three or four fingers of off-white head. Sweet honey-vanilla aroma with floral and fruity hops. Smooth, lightly prickly palate. Flavor is sweet and malty with medium bitterness overlaying. Honey-caramel and vanilla with hints of licorice and hay. Not really hot but ABV is noticeable. Nice bitter hit in finish. Kind of a nice, brash imperfect big lager. I enjoyed drinking it.

DavoleBomb (1143) - Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 26, 2012
Poured into a perfect pint. 3.0 A: Clear medium yellow color. Two fingers of frothy off-white head. Retention is average and no lacing is left. 4.0 S: Super grainy with a sweet grassiness. Vanilla wafer through and through. Part herbal, part earthy, party spicy hop aroma. A damn good smelling cream ale. 3.5 T: Tastes good for a cream ale too. White rice, vanilla wafer, grainy malts. Low bitterness. Earthy hop flavor for the most part. Not bad for what it is. 3.5 M: Light to lighter medium body. Good moderate carbonation. Mix of crisp and creamy. 3.5 D: Cream ales aren’t the best style, but a lot of breweries manage to make decent ones nonetheless. Good drinkibility.

Pour is a clear bronze with a small white head. Aroma is sugar, grain and a very slight hop. Flavor is again with the grain, some honey sweetness and alcohol. Mouthfeel is thick and cloying. Meh not really great but I can’t really say anything bad about it.
