Cream Ale? LoL, far from it. Smells like metal and tastes close to the same. Only thing decent is the artwork on the can. Does refresh if you can get past the taste. First and last for me

Look: It doesn’t look good, looks like any standard beer
Smell: Smells like metal
Taste: Tastes like sandy metal, like if you just sandblasted a car, it’s terrible
Feel: Very smooth, only redeemable quality
This beer is awful, for a cream ale it’s the worst I can think of. Only issue is in Florida (st Augustine) I can’t find any cream ales anywhere that isn’t at an actual brewery, which isn’t a bad thing, but when I get home from work I don’t want to go to a brewery or bar every time

I haven’t had many Cream ales so I don’t have much to compare this one. However, it is very light and refreshing. It is not too much unlike a wheat beer. I get a light malt characteristic with some lemony citrus tones with wheat. Very carbonated. Overall Decent beer. Great for a hot day.

Pale gold in color with a fingernail of eggshell white around the rim and covering half of the top. The aroma is of pale malt, vanilla, and corn. I’m tasting light grains, vanilla, and corn. The mouth is light and thirst quenching.

Look: Clear gold body. One finger of fizzy white head that quickly dissipates.
Smell: Lemon peel and mildly metallic hops.
Taste: Lemon peel, mild spiciness, slightly coppery. Light bitterness that rapidly exits.
Mouthfeel: Average body, high carbonation.
Overall: Very plain and basically acceptable.

An awesome beer that isn’t too heavy. It has a nice head with a smooth finish and is one of my favorites. Truly a treat!

Drinking this at my friend's house in Jacksonville Florida.
Poured from a can into a pint glass.
With a nice Submarine sandwich from Publix.
Appears yellow, nice head that lasted.
Smells citrusy, lemony, slightly malty.
Taste follows the nose.
Mouth feel is medium light for the style. With plenty of carbonation providing a crispness that I like.
Overall, a nice cream ale, sort of like a wheat, that I would definitely order again.

The artwork is okay. The pour is golden yellow & it's well carbonate. The flavor reminds of a strong lemon note sort of like a Belgian Witbier. This beer would pair well with some seafood like grilled salmon or maybe some crab legs. It's an okay beer. Cheers! B-
