Commercial Description:
We brewed this Special High Gravity Cream Ale in serious celebration of the return of the salubrious Spring... With the long dark days of the Season of Damp nearly behind us and the possibilities of a long languid Summer ahead.

On tap at Toronado. This copper ale poured with a decent off-white head, that quickly dissipated. The creamy hop flavor is a bit thin at first, but develops into a subtle bitterness after a few sips.

On Draft. Golden amber color. Caramel and slight citrus aroma. Very crisp, and almost creamy flavor. Scratch that, it’s very creamy. Alcohol presence is not noticable at all.

Pours gold-amber with a large, dense head. Citrusy-sweet aroma with a handful of pine and some very light caramel. Bigger pine nose as it warms. Interesting flavor. Starts out sort of creamy-sweet, then the hop flavor slowly builds until it knocks the sweetness right out of the glass. Said sweetness comes back for a furtive encore just before the end, which leaves the mouth dry, piney, and satisfied.

bottle- Great beer! golden in color, extremely clear, white lacing head. huge centennial taste, clean and crisp, with some big time pine flavor. I don’t know if this has anything to do with a cream ale, but it’s good.

I’m reading the previous review...uh...deep mahogany?! Not even close. Golden-amber at best.....maybe someone bled into your glass. Better than expected taste....aroma is very pleasant. Mouthfeel is, in fact, fairly creamy....nice hoppy bitterness.......I see this being a nice session brew..even at 7.6%. A nice surprise.

Had 12ouncs. It was a good brew, alcohol is smooth but more prevalent than hop flavor. Beer is deep mahogany. Cream taste is rich.

Lekker looking bier with white head and deep copper body. Aroma of malt, hops and pine. Full mouth with creamy texture. Seems lighter in alcohol than it is. Ordinary finish, almost disappointing until the hop bite. Definitely worth seeking out.

Fabulous, complex creamy ale. Soft up front with a usual Lagunitas malt complex. Lots of hop flavor without being over citrusy or acidic. Reminds me of a sweert banana bread intermixed with very light pine - citrus is lime, which plays well into this sweet brew. Very mellow and smooth but stong and heavy. Really great brew from the fine folks at lagunitas.
