12 oz can into a becher glass.
L: Pours 99% clear yellow with a thin, soapy, lightly fizzy white head that quickly goes to edge foam, large steady carbo bubbles, no lacing.
S: Sweet malted milk balls, cereal grains, apple.
T: Apple cereal grains, a hint of toffee, toasted caramel malts, light citrus, light peach, gentle sweet malts in the finish and after taste. Lightly sweet overall.
F: Lightly crisp then gently creamy medium-light body with a medium length clean finish.
O: A good tasting and crushable Cream Ale although it isn't as creamy as others I've had. It is good in its style.

12 oz bottle
Odell stemware
No date
Golden hazy color with a firm creamy cap of 1 finger.
Aromas of pilsner malt, grass, light dried apple, and graham sweetness.
Flavor starts with a sharp pilsner hop bite, then follows with pleasant sweet fruit (apples and peaches mainly), apple jacks, and flaked corn. Fades out on more hoppy green stuff.
Feel is crisp and sharp with slight creaminess and some slight acidic bite. No warming alcohol.
Overall, an okay cream ale, I've definitely had worse but there are better choices out there.

A 12oz. bottle poured into my MKE pint glass. It pours a hazy yellow with a little orange hue. It started with 1" of pure white foam quickly receding to a thin layer with no lacing left behind. The beer is clear enough to watch the parade of bubbles ascending to the top.
To the nose, I can smell a bit of citrus and slight malty aroma.
The taste is very good, a little citrus, a slight sweet malt flavor.
I can feel the carbonation a bit, a medium feel to my mouth, smooth, not bitter at all.
This is an easy one to tip back and enjoy a few .

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours straw yellow with hints of orange with a fluffy white head. Smells of sweet grain and very slight light frutiness. Tastes of clean grain with slight fruit notes. Beer is light bodied and very easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

Pours a gold body with a 2 finger pillowy white head that faded and left some lacing. Slight caramel malt sweetness with a bit of creamy tones and corn/grain. A mellow creamy malt and grain sweetness with some fruity yeast character. No noticeable hop or any bitter flavors. Feel is lighter with ample carbonation. Rather simple, lawn mower beer.
