Commercial Description:
An ultra-premium, all-malt Cream Ale at 5% alc./vol. Mid-gold colour with a fresh, bread-like malt nose enhanced by fruity hop aromatics. Flavours of fresh malt, subtle sweetness, floral hops and pleasant ale fruitiness all combine to produce a Canadian classic Cream Ale. A moderate hop bitterness and creamy mouthfeel round off the flavour experience. Food pairing suggestions include chowders, sushi, teriyakis, salmon and tuna dishes, corn-on-the-cob, fruit cakes, and brick and colby cheeses.

Small head, grassy aroma. Not much flavour to speak of, a bit of toffee sweetness that disappears into a metallic tang. Not sure I’d buy this again.

Bottle sample, Canadian Brewing Awards 07. Medium yellow, small white head. Mild malt sweetness in aroma - nothing harsh, smells fresh actually. Taste - more of the same, cream malt sweetness you expect from a decently done Canadian Cream Ale - this one was actually bordering on flavourful. Again, nothing off-putting, a decent light ale actually, surprised me a bit. Still not a great fan of this style.

Draught. At 2007 Fort York TFOB. Clear, oily-looking gold pour with a decent fizzy off-white diminishing head. Aroma of creamed corn, light plastic and cereal grain. The taste - quite light, cereal grain, generic very light floral dry stale hop bitterness, and just to convince me I wasn’t hallucinating, a hint of corn and PVC waiting to take over if I were STUPID enough to let this sucker warm up at all. Light bodied with a very quick finish, and only a slightly "off" aftertaste; not really bad, mostly just boring - drink this f*&ker cold!

Draught at TFOB 2007. Pours a clear gold with a small diminishing white head. Aroma’s sweet, corny and bready. Flavour’s sweet and fruity with grain, light herbal hops and...oh, not much else. Nothing bad about the taste at least, it’s just blah. Average bodied. Meh, it could be worse.

Bottle. Limpid golden body topped with a thin white foamy/creamy head. Decent malty/hoppy taste with subtle sweet and spicy notes. Its mild taste lacks complexity. Ends with a fairly bitter finish.
