On tap at the Woolwich Arms in Guelph The aroma was sweet and floral quit nice pours a orengey amber with lots of creamy head and good lacing the taste was sweet and very creamy the best cream ale i have had thus far

Draft. Creamy gold colour, took forever to settle, but left a very nice creamy head that would add to the beer very nicely. Lives up to the title ‘Cream Ale’, one of the creamiest beers I’ve ever had, with a malt backing. Like many cream ales, it suffers from an overall blandness, but this is probably as good cream ales come, good brew.

On tap at fall ale fest. Taps a hazed dark honey color, with a billowing creamy head. Aromas are subtle but you get whifs of floral hops, apricot, some sweet grainy notes. Nice hop "bite" up front with a wonderful creamy smooth mouth feel, some citrus-peach notes in the middle with a clean, drying , delicate malty finish. I think we got something here. Cream ales are kind of a bland two dimensional style but this is both layered and subtle as well as smooth and creamy....don’t know how much the nitrogen delivery has to do with it but this is one of the better commercial cream ales you’ll find anywhere.

En fût au King Hall de Sherbrooke, une bière québécoise que j’adore choisir, Pale Ale à l’azote, elle nous apporte une telle douceur en bouche que nous croyons déguster un dessert. Jolie couleur, arôme primaire de houblon floral et finale de malt.

En fût au Sacrilège. Nos yeux aperçoivent une bière de couleur cuivrée surmontée d’une belle mousse compacte. Au nez on découvre des arômes de houblon floral, de caramel et de noisettes. En bouche on rencontre un corps moyen avec une effervescence faible et une texture lourde et crémeuse. Nos papilles gustatives font connaissances avec des flaveurs puissantes de houblons, de noisettes grillées et de caramel.

Verre de 12 oz en fut. Arômes doux de houblon herbal. Robe cuivrée, très belle mousse crémeuse qui tient longtemps. En bouche, on retrouve une base maltée honnête et le houblon résineux et herbal. Le houblon termine l’arrière goût délicatement. Rafraichissant.

Cask, hand drawn. Aroma has light notes of cereal, and roasted for the malt, pine for the hops and a hint of wood and a faint fruitiness. Head is huge, creamy (like whipped cream) off-white, with excellent lacing and is fully lasting. Color is clear light brown with a red tint. Flavor is lightly sweet and acidic to start and finishes lightly bitter. Palate is medium, creamy, and has an almost flat carbonation. Light on everything all around, but a very good pub beer to go with pub food.

Pours medium copper with notes of light hops. The palate shows the malts along side the creaminess of the balanced hops. A very nice and balanced beer.
