Official blurb first: Jamie Floyd has travelled to Caledonian Brewery, in Edinburgh, to brew a special version of one of his brewery’s beers, just for this Wetherspoon real-ale festival (Autumn 2013). This straw-coloured beer has a light, crisp malt aroma, with a fruity hop presence of apricot and mango, leading to a creamy mouthfeel with toasted flavours and a refreshing, hoppy, creamy finish.
Hops used: Crystal, Liberty, Simcoe.
My notes:
Not sure I've knowingly had a 'Cream Ale' before, so didn't know what to expect.
Hand-pulled half-pint in the William Withering, Wellington on 18th Oct 2013.
Golden yellow body with a pure white crown of foam.
Mellow in flavour and aroma, malts just about rule the roost, but the hop content added more fruit-like tastes and smells to ensure the beer was well balanced and easy to drink.
Nothing to suggest it was a 'Cream Ale' apart from the name: ticks a box though!
