Good take on the style. Not a style I am really into, but this works

It has a body to it, malty and grainy with a hidden bitterness that you have to taste for. fades nicely in the finish.

Taste Rating in Words: It's an older brother.

Pours a golden color with a foamy head that lasts quite a while. No discernable aroma. Taste is sweet and dry with a hint of apple. Good mouth feel.

 

Golden hued with excellent clarity and an inch of frothy dishwater white resting on top. The aroma is of corn and light malt. The flavor of sweet malt and corn with a cereal grain note in the mix that seems to dominate. The mouth is pretty light and smooth.

 

I have to admit that I'm a fan of the Cream Ale style. I suppose it's from the macro versions that I drank in my youth. This one is exceptional. Golden in color with a tall white head. Lots of lace and a light haze. The aroma has a malt and cereal note....soft, without much hop presence. The taste is balanced between sweetness and a hop spiciness and bitterness.
Bread and a pleasant herbal hop finish. Light and crisp.

Pours a clear gold color. 1/3 inch head of an off-white color. Decent retention and decent lacing. Smells of pale malt, slight sweet malt, hint of vanilla, and a hint of yeast. Fits the style of a Cream Ale. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with an average carbonation level. There is also a decent dryness. Tastes of slight floral hops, hint of alcohol, hint of biscuit, piney hops, pale malt, slight sweet malt, and a hint of vanilla. Overall, decent appearance and aroma, with a good body and blend.

A collaboration with Sun King Brewing Co. A poured a clear orange color with ruby highlights. Good carbonation. It smelled of grasses, floral notes and some nuttiness. Tasted sweet and creamy with a nice bitterness.
