At Brian and Amy’s in Portland ME. This is beer for drinking mindlessly. Its probably good if that is what you are looking for.

2013-04-29. Crisp yellow body with a small white head. Modest aroma, mild grassy hops, pale malt. Flavour is similar grassy hops. Average bodied palate. Simple, inoffensive but a bit dull. Sampled at the brewery

Not a great beer. Kind of boring and lacking in flavor. Drinkable but nothing special.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
bottle - Pours clear gold with a white head. It smells grainy and kind of bready. The flavor is light and frankly pretty bland. It’s light bodied and has maybe a slight bitterness in the finish. Utterly forgettable.

This cream ale had the taste of a pale lager. There was lots of corn and straw flavors without that metallic crap you get in Bud Light & shyt. As it warmed up there seems to be a stale hop flavor that builds up. All in all a pretty solid light-drinker, but not too "creamy" in a sense.

On tap at Indigo’s. Nose is light citrus/stale hops with some corn. Taste is similar with cereal/bran notes and some light citrus and toasted corn chips. Mehh...not bad if paired with some tacos.

Cream ale? There was nothing remotely creamy about this ale. Looks and tastes more like a light, refreshing summer ale. Guess I should’ve saved it another month or two.

This is almost completely forgettable. It makes absolutely no attempt to be anything other than a run of the mill ale. Definitely not the best Magic Hat can do.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On draft at the brewery tasting room. Golden color with a nice white head. Crisp and clean with a nice light hop presence, crushable.
