Cream Ale
Rogue's Roost Brew Pub & Eatery

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.

 

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.
