Pours a hazy pale gold color with a bright white head that dissipates quickly. Suttle carbonation and no lacing. Smell is definately fruity once u swirl the brew around in the glass. Initial taste has a little bit of that sour beer bite but disappears quickly to a sweet finish that is not dry. The feel is smooth, crisp and very drinkable, good for a hot summer day. Overall, I like this brew, it's a little tart sometimes but not overbearing and is a little on the lighter side so I hope to enjoy more this summer

From a 12 oz bottle in a snifter via a friend from work---Thanks Randy!
This rather simple little ale pours a very nice pink tinged golden color with
a nice head of white foam that subsides to a thick ring, thin pool, and shows
some very light spotty lacing. Nose light strawberries and grain notes. Flavors
follow the nose with grain and light subtly tart strawberry notes with very little
of the cream ale notes coming through. Light mouth feel; a touch thin, with
medium carbonation, and a lightly dry finish.
Decent, but nothing to write home about.

It is a clear gold color. Bright white head.
It has a sour berry aroma with some light grains.
Decent amount of strawberry flavor. More sour/bitter than sweet. As it warms the crisp grains start to take over and the strawberry becomes a nice background

12 oz brown bottle with no bottling date poured into a lager glass.
A: slightly hazy light golden body with a very subtle pinkish hue. Fizzy white head quickly reduces to a thin partial coat.
Aroma: fruity with more bready malts than expected. Generic berries rather than specifically strawberry.
T - typical cream ale with and well proportioned, light strawberry note. Lightly tart and sweet. Fruit and mild tartness linger on in the aftertaste.
Feel: thin body with medium carbonation. Crisp, clean and refreshing.
O: a refreshing, conservatively flavored cream ale.

Appearance: Pours a clear goldenstraw with a modest cap; strands of lacing hang around
Smell: Bready, with a possible hint of strawberry (but not sure I would have guessed it blind)
Taste: Bready, also with a possible hint of strawberry in the middle and a bigger strawberry flavor in the finish - though it is all very subtle
Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: I have avoided this beer all the way back to the Cottonwood days; now that I have had it I can go back to avoiding it
