This was the only beer on tap that I hadn't had already so it was finally time for me to give it a go. It's a solid cream ale and a bit hoppier than expected with some floral and grassy notes, kind of similar to a pilsner.

Beautiful. Fluffy, pure white head, with fine textured, meringue like foam.

Smells of clean, pure, bready malts and grains. Boiled crackers.

Tastes like cracker smoothy. Just... wow. This is what cream ale should be (and is) at its absolute best. Just pure beer-drinking bliss. Light sweetness, but with a crisp drying finish from the hops.

Grains are nice and soft and the carbonation is firm but smooth, providing a pillowy- but chewy mouthfeel that really satisfies while remaining the epitome of drinkability.

One of, if not the best cream ales I've ever had! YUM!!

A lot of visible carbonation, light golden color.

Smell is sort of funky with some very subtle sour and general sweet undertones.

The taste is rather dissapointing. It is at first rather subtle, but then the sour and some honey-ish sweetness in the background. Mouthfeel is conservative, but fine.

Meh.

Tap at the source.
Slightly hazy deep yellow with a smallish white head. Rich bready pilsner with hints of cereal or corn and a firm spicy floral hop to counter. Pretty tasty summer beer.

I enjoyed this on tap at the brewpub, served chilled in a glass.

The color is golden with cream ale type appearance yet there is no head however it revives when swirled with decent clarity and fine bead. The smell is mild with smooth malt ester and light hop scent with gentle sweet aroma and grainy odor with mild fruitiness of yeast. THe feel is good with moderate malt body with light bitterness and gentle sweetness with semi-dry finish and moderately carbonated throughout.

The taste has a nice malt base on first sip with a honey-like sweetness with gentle hop in the flvaor and mild pilsner type light toasted malt taste with gentle spice in the dry finish. Overall This is an excellent example of the style, easy drinking and simple yet still a modest amount of malt flavor with session strength a plus.
