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.

Had this one tap at the Wooly in Guelph, ON. A nice copper colour with a standard white creamy nitro head. Weak honey and hops aroma. Flavour had a malty base, with notes of honey, with mild hop blancing in the finish. Creamy light body. Overall it went well with meal, a good dinner and conversation beer, high drinkability, but nothing particularily special. McAuslan’s oatmeal stout is really where its at.

GirlyBeer (191) - Old Orchard Beach, Maine, USA - AUG 23, 2007
I tried this while in town for the Mondial 2007: hoppy aroma, creamy mouthfeel, yellow color, mild hop flavor. Overall, I rather liked it, I thought it was different.

larsga (4435) - Oslo, NORWAY - AUG 19, 2007
Biggish creamy offwhite head. Body is first milky, then slowly settles into light brown. Faint sweetish honey and resin aroma with fruity notes. Sweetish-dry clean honey and resin taste with grainy, papery notes. Creamy and soft mouthfeel. Dry malty aftertaste. Good session beer. (0.275l draft at Le Barbare, Montreal, under the name "Broue dans L’Toupette.)

Sampled at Mondial de la Biere. Nitro. no real flavor. disappointed with this one. the rest of my notes say "lame."

swiseman (312) - Fredericton, New Brunswick, CANADA - MAY 23, 2007
thick, rich lacing. lots of carbonation in the mouth. mild hop bitterness - particularly on the palate. I’m not usually a cream ale fan, but this was one of the better ones I have had.

robinvboyer (2130) - Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 19, 2007
on tap at C’est What. I’m assuming the glass i had ti in was not cleaned properly, cause this tasted very much like soap. I tried my best to taste it otherwise. It looked great with a thick creamy head. aroma was soap, and some hops. flavour was quite bitter, again witha grainy soapiness. not very good, will have to try again.
