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.

czar (1053) - Québec, Quebec, CANADA - MAR 7, 2011
draught. dark golgen with a thick creamy whipped white head. very good malty body, some toasted malts, touch of caramel, light herbal hops in the aroma, but a long lingering hoppy (citrusy) finish. creamy all the way for sure.

A pint on draught at Le Grillon in Montréal. Copper colour, nice thick head, white and creamy, it’s a cream ale. Light aroma of hops, and malt. Nice and savoury taste of malt and a creamy texture.

Pours amber yellow with a thick whipped head. Aroma is very dry and malty. Mouth feel is very rich and creamy. Dramatic hop finish with a chewy bitter lingering aftertaste.

manuchampions (1154) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - JUL 24, 2010
Draught at C’est What spring festival 28/05/10. Pours a slightly hazy dark orange with an average size lasting creamy white head. Nice lacing. Mild aroma of floral hops, fruit and some malt. The flavour is fruity with a nice light bitterness -- the hops are a nice surprise considering how lame this style usually is. Mouthfeel is creamy but a tad thin. Definitely the best Cream Ale I’ve had but that’s not saying much.

En fût. 5%. Couleur ambrée, claire. Belle mousse épaisse Et très crèmeuse. Arômes de malt et de fruits sucrés (?). Très crèmeuse en bouche, elle se boit très bien. Présence de malt, caramel et d’une amertume acceptable en finale.

DuffMan (4242) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - JUL 1, 2010
On tap at Pub St. Alexandre in Quebec City. Slightly hazy copper amber, thick dense head that coats the glass (nitro). Fruity toffee aroma. Light and fruity caramel flavours, tartly acidic, nicely bitter finish. Creamy smooth mouthfeel (again nitro). Enormous drinkability, if not the most complex beer in the room.
