Cream Ale
Rogue's Roost Brew Pub & Eatery

 

Arrived with a half-finger of white head that slowly dissipated, leaving a chunky ring, and lots of rings of lacing down the glass. Body is a slightly pale gold, clear with some carbonation visible.

Aroma is almost nonexistent, but I found some sweetened grains and mild florals.

Taste is a mix of honey-sweet biscuit and floral, mildly spicy hops. There's flavour there, but it's just barely on the nicely subtle side of subdued.

Mouthfeel is a medium-thin body, medium carbonation balancing it fairly well. A bit of smoothness in the mouth.

This is a pretty drinkable brew. Not exceptionally flavourful, but will appeal to those used to watered-down and bland beers.

A- Clear light golden yellow with a medium bright white head that reduced to a thin cap and left decent lace.

S-Hopped with Saaz this brew gives off a nice wafting of spicy grass and a bit of sweet biscuit malt.

T-Sweet biscuit malt with a nice balancing kick from the spicy, grassy, hops.

M-Light body, just a tad thin feeling and in need of a touch more body. A decent amount of lingering hop bitterness.

D-Certainly not a complex brew and despite the fact it is a bit thin it is easy to drink. A good starter beer or one to have a few of on a hot summer day.

Rogues Roost- Cream Ale

A- Light clear bubbly yellow with a foamy white head. Light lacing.
S- Sweet vanilla aroma with hints of straw and hay.
T- Sweet flanlike vanilla with straw/hay hops.
M- Light body with big sweet flavors.

Overall- Not that complex but easy to drink and flavors are nice and present throughout. Nice 1 to start off with.

Arrives at my table a very pale straw-yellow, with a small and rather fizzy white head that lasts reasonably well, leaving some lacing. Smell is a bit faint, light fruitiness and a touch of hops showing. Taste is lightly hopped, with the Cascade showing itself mostly in the finish, along with pear, a hint of summer berries and a dry lagery finish. Mouthfeel is hightly carbonated, very crisp and with fair body, and drinkability is very good. Not a bad cream ale at all, with much more character than is typical in many renditions of this style, but there are better options at Rogue's Roost.

Had on tap at Rogue's Roost Brew-Pub.

Appearance: Arrives with a very nice golden yellow colour. The head is quite thick and fizzy, and lasts for the duration of the drink.

Aroma: Soem citrus, berries, a fair amount of nice grains and a good dose of what I believe to be Saaz hops.

Taste: Malt forward, some lovely cereal grains, hop bitterness is low but present. Some florals and citrus manage to peak through.

Mouthfeel: Smooth, creamy, and a bit fizzy. Drinkability Medium to High.

Final Statement: A very decent crafted Cream Ale. It appeals to a novice beer drinker, and is still a nice drink for a fan. Has many characteristics of a lager, but still very much an ale. It's wroth a shot.
