Apr 29, 2008 Light hazy amber. Light floral/fruity hoppiness on the nose. Fresh pale malt body with bright floral hop character. Well-integrated...even a bit of creaminess.

Aug 24, 2008 12oz bottle acquired in trade with jake65 (thanks!). Poured a medium and clear golden colo with a large sized head. Aromas of lots of grains, very husky, somewhat earthy, and salty. Tastes of grains and sweet malts.

May 6, 2006 <b>Bottle:</b> Picked this up at Huckleberry’s in Spokane, WA. Pours a pellucid copper color, thick creamy white head and tons of lacing. The nose is light but contains a light fresh hop note and some sweet toasty malts, no husk to speak of, nice! The flavor is creamy (no pun) with a nice light fresh hoppiness and a full malty, biscuity body. Finishes long and drawn out, just the thing to quench the fire of the hot chihuahua. Could it be the premium australian malts? Who knows?!

Aug 22, 2008 Mineral character is present along with earthy, and floral hops in the nose. Lightly hazy golden body is topped by a low white large bubbled head that recedes rapidly to a thin partial cover with a bit of lacing. Husky and grainy and overly mineral flavour up front with floral character in the aftertaste. Bitterness is quite strong and very sharp and tangy. Other than a light sweetness there is little malt character. Very dry, astringent and puckering with fair carbonation. Not sure if I just got a bad bottle but this really isn’t working for me. Snifter. Just above fridge temperature. Bottle (Bottleworks, Aug-08).

Oct 22, 2008 Sampled 10/21/2008. This Cream Ale pours a slightly cloudy orange gold color from a 12 oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head with decent retention. The aroma is fruity and sweet with a touch of floral hops. A medium bodied cream ale. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are floral and earthy. Nice balance. Good carbonation. It has the kind of yeasty creamy mouthfeel. This is a very nicely done cream ale. Best cream ale I have had in long time. Light and refreshing. Crisp and clean. Good summer beer. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
