16 oz can into a pilsner glass.
Pours a lightly hazy pale gold color with a hefty eggshell white head. The head has decent retention, leaving some sticky cobwebs of lace before settling into a thin layer of foam. Bubblez for dayz.
The aroma brings a wave of sweet corn right up front, followed by some spicy ass hops, and doughy malt.
The flavor follows the nose: Sweet, grainy malts and corn finished off by a wave of hops. Very floral.
The feel is light bodied with moderate carbonation. Slick, creamy and smooth with just a touch of crisp effervescence on the finish.
Overall, this is a good example of a cream ale. The style isn't one I enjoy but this one is nice and drinkable and accessible as hell.

Canned 8/11/20
Pours a med-lighter bubbly foamy head with moderate retention, soapy lacing, clear golden pils color
Nose is light but nice, decent creamy doughy malt but light, faint maize or corn like notes, light floral hops, a bit more cereal grain and corn characters as it warms
Taste is a bit more flavorful, very malty, grainy doughy malt, cereal and a touch husky like, mild corn or maize as well like real corn and not DMS, grainy-rich, light floral hops with a touch of bitterness, drier finish with bitterness getting a bit higher but doesn't get above low-med
Mouth is lighter bod, med to a bit lighter foamy carb
Overall not bad, a nice easy light cream ale with most of the characters it needs to have,
