COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Nitrogen is what distinguishes McAuslan Cream Ale from the crowd. Draft beer is usually pressurized with carbon dioxide. The addition of nitrogen to the mixture helps create a thicker, longer-lasting head. The nitrogen also helps smooth away some of the characteristic carbon dioxide bite often associated with North American drafts. Our Cream Ale, known as McAuslan Smooth Ale in the US, has a beautiful long-lasting head and a full-bodied silky texture that make it a unique taste experience.

Dégustée en fût au McKibbin’s Irish Pub à Montréal. Nez de grians de malt sucrés aux notes terreuses léger de houblon floral avec des notes d’agrumes et métalliques (azote). Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture crémeuse (azotée). Goût légèrement amer de houblon floral aux faibles notes citriques (une amertume présente en arrière-goût durant toute la gorgée) avec des notes fruitées (agrumes) et métalliques (dû à l’azote) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût malté (grains sucrés, notes de caramel doux, traces de pain) puis en finale, l’amertume revient en avant -plan en affichant des faibles notes herbeuses. Post-goût moyen et légèrement sec, légèrement amer de houblon floral aux notes herbeuses avec des notes fruitées (agrumes). (hiver 2005-06)

BreWedge (174) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 25, 2012
On tap @ Dominion Tavern Montreal. Pours a dark chesternut brown with a thick, persistent, creamy, off-white head. Aroma is rich biscuit, toffee. Taste is toasty malts and a mid-range hoppy bitterness that lingers. Smooth creamy texture with a bit of bitter afterbite. Good beer but smell is more alluring than the taste. Smells ESB, tastes pale ale.

fiulijn (12179) - Malmö, DENMARK - OCT 14, 2012
Draught at C’est What, Toronto
Hazy light amber color, with small head. Anonymous aroma, some paper. Also the flavor is quite anonymous; the mouthfeel is weak and semi-dry; some malt, cereals and paper; ordinary bitterness.
Boring beer.

GarnotingPete (529) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - SEP 16, 2012
Oktoberfest des Québécois 2012 - Superbe bière couleur de miel, cristalline et coiffée d’un somptueux col crémeux laissant au verre un voile des plus soyeux. Des arômes analogues à la Pale Ale, soient de pain au houblonnage herbacé. Moyennement amère avec un peu de sucre résiduel. Crémeuse et veloutée à souhait, de corps honnête, elle se termine sur une douce amertume.

Had @ the Merchant Ale House in St Catherines, Canada - drinking this beer on draft .. . insanity, smells like apricots- thought they poured two apricot brews for me, but verified.. . very creamy mouthfeel but a bit thin .. . started awesome but then dropped off .. . . It sounds like you’re working for your car-r-r. Simplify-y, ma-an!

gilvanblight (678) - Windsor, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 9, 2012
Rusty brown orange pour with lots of head. Hoppy, weedy grassy smell. Creamy slightly sweet with a grassy bitterness. Low carbonation. Easy to drink. Smooth finish. A bitter spike in the finish.

Hammy78 (614) - Dundas, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 7, 2012
On draft at the Winking Judge Augusta Street Hamilton Ontario. Pours a clear golden colour with a nice fluffy white head. Aroma is sweet fruity. Tastes sweet a little bitter. Everything you would want from a cream ale.

Nitro makes for a good irish style falling head. Beer is thick and a touch bitter without the sourness of many cream ales.
