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.

Light copper pour with a thick frothy nitro head. Aroma is caramel malt, some grain, and toasty notes. Flavor is also quite grainy with some bitterness to complement a mild sweet malt presence. Palate is chewy but deceivingly thin. A great session brew, but by no means a fireside sipper or tasting breakout delicatessen.

Hammy78 (441) - 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.

UPDATED: NOV 19, 2011 Golden yellow colour with white frothy head. Creamy and yeasty flavoured. Not bad.

lukin (224) - Ontario, CANADA - JUL 31, 2011
Draught at the Wooly. Gorgeous pour, golden colour emerges as it settles. Thick nitro head retained through the whole pint. Strong aroma of banana and bready malts. Taste has some caramel/toffee notes. The mouthfeel is fantastic; very creamy and drinkable. Long bitter finish. Very nice cream ale.

Draft, Malty and creamy, but with a surprising bitter hops bite. A standout cream ale.

That is an epic picture. It looked very similar to that. Small one inch head that retained throughout drinking the entire beer. Good lacing. Very creamy. Would have again.
