COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Remarkably smooth for a full-flavoured beer. Our founder’s intention was to combine the refreshing taste of a German lager with the distinctive taste of an English Ale without blending the two.

TheBeerBaron (261) - Florida, USA - JUL 20, 2008
Clear light yellow color, super active carbonation in the glass like a natural spring. Small white head that fades to nothingness yet the beer still produces lace. Wheat smell mixed with lemon zest and a very mild hop gives this beer a crisp simple aroma. Tastes like your average lager similar to a corona with a lime wedge. I could not identify a cream, just a salty suds in the finish. Nothing to make this beer stand out in a crowd and if it was presented in a glass I would not guess cream ale.

A very nice cream ale. I wish there were more of these. Aroma was so so. LIght malt, sugar and biscuit. Pour was a nice light gold with a one finger white head. Taste was nice and sweet but not overly. Strong carbonated mix of bicuit, sugar and light sweet malt. Crisp and refreshing.

11.5 ounce bottle- poured out an interesting clear gold with a moderate head. The aroma was very malty. Taste was malt with a light sweetness. As with most cream ales, the appeal of this brew is in the palate, very smooth and full. Very good, I’d buy it again.

Snoop59 (103) - Penn Run, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 29, 2008
12 oz. can. Pours a pale straw color with an average white frothy head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is of faint maltiness with a very light corn-like character. The flavor is initially crisp and clean with a bit of corny sweetness. Finishes with a light bitter flavor of short duration. Body is smooth. Overall, a nice drinkable cream ale.

SledgeJr (3579) - Omaha, Nebraska, USA - JUN 22, 2008
On tap at the Diesel Theater while watching a performance of The Evil Dead- The Musical. Pours a dark gold with a medium white head. Mild biscuit malt aroma. No so creamy, but has a nice mellow lemon finish.

KingofCastle (202) - London, Ontario, CANADA - JUN 5, 2008
bottle: I don’t enjoy cream ales but weak, watery & very sweet . . . .has that awful malt liquor feel to it which is stomach turning. Never liked this beer & still don’t.

straw yellow pour with thin lacy white head - reminds me of the watery american cream ales that I used to drink as a kid (Little Kings, Genesee, etc.) - probably an ok thirst quencher beer and maybe a good gateway beer but nothing special stands out
