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.

adjunted aroma and flavor form a straw color body with no head. Over carbonated, thin, fizzy. Better than megaswill but not by much.

lots of carbonation; nice golden color, but virtually no head which is strange for a cream ale - tastes much like a common lager

Nose has butter, vanilla and malt...quite un-expected! Sweet malt and light hops and distinct wheat. A distinct "cream" feel on the palate, more than most, well done. A touch too carbonated. Basic stuff all-around but quite drinkable!

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.

Cool Bottle. Pours bright yellow with white puffy head. Not much carbonation noticable. Flavor was creamed sweet corn & light hops. Crisp, quick, light aftertaste of sweet clover or honeysuckle. All in all, it was a pretty okay cream ale.

It's been a while since I had a cream ale style, and it probably will be another long time. It wasn't bad, but it's nothing to write home about either.

not realy a cream ale, truly a pale red ale. Pours a cristal clear brownish yellow, white head of large bubbles, slowly disapates. Taste is VERY mild, sweet mellow malt with increadibly mild bitter hop, hiding in a giant body of water. Mild carbonation, creamy aftertaste, salight skunk {clear bottle afterall} In the early days, sleeman was one of the cheap micro’s around, and this was their #2 best {better than the lager, not as good as the dark ale}, and it was worth the price. Now it sells at premium prices, and it’s just not worth it. No matter how prety a bottle, the contence is what counts. Cheers

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
