355 ml bottle. Nice orangey golden color. Two-finger offwhite head leaving fine laces. Full malty, both in aroma and flavor. Strong and delicate hop aroma, and lots of bittering hops in the flavor as well. Well-bodied and smooth in the mouth. Lingering bitter finish. A powerful and refreshing one.

On-tap at Churchill’s. Pours vibrant, clearish amber with a thin creamy head, some lace. Smells big and sweet malty with a nice sweet, earthy hop background. Tastes malty, malty, malty. Some hop sweetnessin there as well. Caramelly sweet malts with a an earthy, resiny hop flavor as well. Full body, semi-syrupy, good carbonation.

The aroma is malty with sweet cream and corn. There is also a herbal hops and grass. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is good for the style. Overall its drinkable and enjoyable.

"Hi Gravity Cream Ale". Pours like an IPA- clear light amber. Big fluffy head that sticks around like crazy. Nose dominated by sharp citrus hops and a smooth creamy sweetness. Flavor also goes a ways in the IPA direction- aggressive bitterness, floral and citrus hop character. Smooth sweetness to the malt shows off the "cream ale" aspect. Good stuff.

355 ml bottle. Dark amber colour. Intense malt aroma. Bold caramelly aromas. Sharp hoppy flavours. Very interesting complex maltiness. Excellent taste. The malt composition is still unknown to me. Would like to know, please. Sugars and enormous amounts of specialty malts? Distinct hoppy bitterness. Very nice.

I was under the impression this was some sort of cream ale with extra hoppiness. It was indeed a nice beer. Pours a semi-clear copper colour with a large off white head. Aroma of sweet hops and citrus. Finishes semi dry with a tight hop bite. Tastey!

Medium offwhite head. Chestnut brown body. Firm malty caramelly aroma with fruity notes. Sweet earthy intensely malty taste with fruity hop notes and some toffee. Dry fruity hop aftertaste. Nice. (0.355l bottle from gr0ve.)
