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.

Pours a hazy golden color with a small white head. Aroma is of sweet, damp produce. Thankfully, it tastes better than it smells... Starts sweet with a generous amount of hops, finishes bitter, nice bite. Not a lot going on here, average.

i anticipated this being better than it turned out. another amber colored beer with light tan head from the Lag. Aroma of orange, corriander, pine, grapefruit, bread (like rye), and hints of dried fruits. flavor is much the same adding in a dash of lemon zest and carmel corn.

Bottle. Clear light amber body. In the aroma musty orange peel and pine hops remind me of cheddar cheese over habañero white bread. A well put together beer. Soft pale caramel malt base with a light grain spice complimented by tasty PNW bright orange citrus hops whose bitter component last into the finish. A creamy-tasting IPA.

Medium golden color with a short white head. A very hoppy beer that lives up to its title "cream ale." The strong and not so balanced finish of alcohol and hops was distracting to me. More of an IPA in my opinion.

Bottle. Pour is about the color of apple juice with a one finger high fizzy head. Aroma is interesting: grass, sweet malt, a bit of alcohol and a touch of fruity/floral hops. Flavor starts off sort of silky and creamy with sweetness, but the takes a right turn and heads south into an astringent alcoholic tailspin. This is especially the case on the first few sips... After a couple minutes, it seems to be getting a little more hospitable, but even so, the alcohol is not well hidden.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a moderate amount of dense white head. Aroma is pale malts, grass, apple. Flavor is pale malts, citrus, apple, caramel, slight alcohol. Palate is medium bodied, highly carbonate, creamy, velvety finish. Very good stuff!
