Lakefront Cream City Pale Ale

Brewed by Lakefront Brewery
Style: American Pale Ale
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

Very nice palate to this beer. I love the malt usage of carapils in a pale, makes for a nice mix to the hop profile. Some cascades in the finish and nose. Nice little pale they’ve made here.

On tap at the Lakefront Brewery. Amber with a thin white head. Aroma of hops and citrus. Taste of citrus and floral hops though somewhat thin and devoid of flavor. Finish is mildly bitter.

Pours a two finger white head that takes a while to fade leaving a good lace. Clear amber color. Hoppy nose. Light-medium carbonation and light-medium bodied. Flavor is hoppy, piney and grapefruit with a lingering bitter aftertaste. $1.80 for a 12oz bottle from Tully’s Beer & Wine Wells, Me.

Light amber color with a thin white head. Skunky with a mild citrus aroma, pale taste with a bitter finish and mild malty mouth feel

Nice looking pale ale. Almost medium-bodied, flavor is aight, but the finish is so sour it makes me feel like I’m sucking on a lemon. Would be an aight brew if it would have held up until the end.

This is a decent little pale ale, could be a little stronger on the body but drinks quite nicely for my money. Pours a hazy orangeish amber with a small white head, that recedes into some ample sticky lacing. Light toasted toffee nose, with some caramel maltiness, light floral and citrus hops. A very nice drinkable pale ale, to start off the night.

Pours a deep, clear amber with a prolific supply of rising bubbles and a frothy off-white head that laces fairly well. The nose is of pale caramel malt backed by a fruity hop note and a slightly "off" almost adjunct-like quality. I can’t quite put my finger on what this aroma reminds me of, but it is a bit of a detractor from an otherwise pleasant nose. Light to medium-bodied and quite soft despite the visible torrent of carbonation, the mouthfeel finishes just slightly metallic and lightly bitter. The flavor is of pale malt backed by grassy and fruity hops finishing again with a slightly metallic and bitter conclusion that lingers a few seconds after the swallow. This is a completely quaffable and decent brew. There’s nothing really "wrong" with it. It just doesn’t do a whole lot for me.

Bottle: Poured a yellow color with a little bit of head. The aroma was light hops and light citrus. The flavor was smooth, light hops, a touch of sweet and a touch of bitter spice. Overall, an easy drinking Pale Ale...very good!
