Sep 22, 2007 Poured from the bottle to a light orange color with decent carbonation and a thick white head that lingered well and left good lacing on the glass. From the minute I opened the botel, I could detect the hoppy citrus fruit (grapefruit and oranges) aroma, and the mouthfeel was slightly spicy and tingly. Flavor did not disappoint, as it was a nice continuation of the citrus hops, but there was also a touch of malty sweet caramel.
This all led to a very well rounded finish, as the dry, hoppy bitterness clashed with the malty sweetness, as well aas the 7.6% alcohol creeping in, which actually became warming.
Lagunitaqs left no stone unturned with this one...another hit!v

Jun 7, 2007 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.

Jul 3, 2007 Picked up a six pack at Bev Mo. Pours light brown with a thin head. Had a very smooth flavor and a heavy malt aroma. Flavor was very malty and had a smooth with a sweet texture. A very nice brew.

Jul 17, 2008 American Strong Ale is too broad. This one clearly states that it is a " HI-Gravity Cream Ale". 12oz bottle. Deliciously appealing doughy cream aroma. Filtered copper color. Deliciously creamy and smooth, with a piny hop presence. The filtering really does this ale right, making the hoppy tastes come through quite enjoyably. Excellent Cream Ale, perhaps the best I’ve had.

Aug 19, 2008 Poured a semi-cloudy copper with a solid head that stuck around. It was low to mediumly carbonated and smelled very citrusy and slightly hoppy. The taste was as good as the smell and reminded me of a delightful pale wheat. There was no bite from the hops and had an extremely smooth finish. I would definitely recommend this and would also have it again.

Jun 18, 2008 Golden amber color. Creamy white head.
Citrus nose leads off. Creamy caramel malt flavor at first with a long hoppy finish. Intresting beer as always from Lagunitas. At 40 IBU’s it seems more like an IPA.

Jul 2, 2008 Half inch cream-colored head. Spicy floral and malt aroma. Color is a unique copper-orange hue and fairly clear. Very appealing appearance. Taste is balanced malt, with slight lemony zest, and bit of hop spice. Nice lingering finish.

Apr 3, 2004 Sweet caramel from the start, then gives way to a citrus hop bite. Creamy, rich mouthfeel. Overall, this was delicious, I'm stocking up on this one!
