Commercial Description:
A two-time winner at the Great American Beer Festival (1994 & 1995). A pale gold in color with a malty aroma, this refreshing beer is brewed at a higher-than-usual temperature to give it a "creamy" taste.

Also had this in Colonial Williamsburg. The name is a real odd one for a Lion brew. A decent cream ale, which is not that great of a style. Pretty smooth with a decent amount of hops.

Bottle. Bought a case with some good friends in N.Y. city and partied at a hotel along with a lot of Sam`Adams beers. Golden bit hazy colour with a nice average lasting sticky head. Malty and caramellic aroma and hops. Flavour is smooth and creamy, fruity hoppiness, caramel, good malts. Nice aftertaste! For a mass produced cream ale this brew is really tasty.

This is a good session beer especially at $12 for a case of 16oz returnables. There are some malt and a little hop flavor and the alcohol is not that well hidden.

Liebotschaner Cream Ale pours to a beautiful, bright, pale golden color, with a bright and bubbly white head that fades, and a good bit of carbonation. The nose on this beer is pleasing, with light touches of pale malt, some corn sweetness, and traces of grassy hop aromatics. The palate on this beer is lean, but with some delicate pale malt flavors, and undertones of jammy fruit from that warm fermentation. The body on this beer because it was lagered is very round and smooth as it goes down. Liebotschaner Cream Ale finishes with some more subtle pale malt, sweet corn, and light fruity flavors, then ends with a slightly sour and grassy edge. This is an excellent, light, refreshing beer, great for warm weather quaffing, and as a beer to drink if you want to knock a few back. It only comes in at about 4-4.5% abv, and makes a good session beer. You could match this beer with a lot of different dishes, but Cream Ale really is a good drinking beer. Its the type of beer to have in the cooler when you go to the beach or the park, or a beer to enjoy at a good, unpretentious bar with a Cream Ale tap. Price on this beer is right as well, going for as little as $3.50 a six pack, and about $12-14 a case depending where you pick it up. This beer is widely avaiable in PA, select Mid-Atlantic markets, and even in New England.

Pale yellow, some DMS notes in aroma, little head. Mouthfeel is watery and fizzy, like a selzter. Taste is vaguely "beery" like you would expect of a macro but with some very mild fruity and hoppy notes.
