Caytinator (595) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - MAR 20, 2013
Green pint on tap. Thin head, good lacing, light-medium taste. Not very creamy for a cream ale, though. Balanced, no off tastes or anything in it. Not bad at all, very mild and drinkable.

DiarmaidBHK (2397) - Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 16, 2012
Draft at brewpub. Pours straw with not much on the nose. Clean and crisp without a whole lot on the tongue or in the finish. It’s a gateway beer and nothing more.

troyc (2014) - Oklahoma, USA - APR 8, 2011
[Tap] Light golden pour with about an inch worth of white head. Nose is of white bread, crisp light hops and grains. Lots of light malt and grain in the taste. Smooth mouthfeel and light grassy finish. Light in palate. Easy to drink and without any major flaws.

Savvy1982 (1705) - Lethbridge, Alberta, CANADA - MAR 6, 2011
Draft at Thunder Canyon. Pours clear green/yellow, thin white head; spotty lacing. Nose is butter, clean cardboard, barley, light nondescript spice. I don’t mean cardboard to be offensive, this isn’t the nasty wet-cardboard you get in a flawed brew, this is more fresh, clean cardboard. Flavors of spicy clean malt, some richness, medium-bodied. A very nice cream ale, which isn’t a style I normally like.

Tap, served in a pint glass. Golden orange with one finger creamy off-white head. Aroma is vanilla. Flavor is vanilla and grassy hops. Medium body, light carbonation, creamy mouthfeel. Decent brew.
