An ale version of the American lager, this pale, straw-colored beauty was born in the USA. Faint notes of malt and flaked corn are complimented by a smooth mouthfeel. A sweet corn-like aroma bubbles up through the carbonation. Noble hops help balance the sweetness of the beer. We used Hallertauer hops just because we like 'em. Named in honor of its creator--our second brewer, Rod Murray--it's a refresher and a thirst-quencher. This is America. Love it or leave it, baby!

Golden hazy almost straw like in color and completely transparent. Kind of a sweet corn malty smell to it. Nicely carbonated. The taste is very crisp and almost sweet. My overall thought is this is a perfect introduction into the craft brew world coming from drinking your typical commercial light beers. This is a very good beer.

So, I like cream ales, and have always been partial to the style as a go-to lawnmower beer. This one is clear, golden, and has a slim...not quite negligible...head. The aroma is lightly bready, has a bit of corn, and some underlying fruit (distant apricot?). There is more of corn in the flavor, but also a pleasant sweetness. Light in body and clean. Nice.

Golden color with almost no head. Smells of corn and malt. Very smooth, goes down easy, hints of malt and sweetness, and a little bready. Nothing unpleasant here but also nothing stands out. Overall a good beer sure wouldn't turn one down.

Pale golden color with good clarify. Solid head retention with small lace lines. Oddly placed aroma of beef broth. Processed bread grain flavor. Faint herbal hops. Slightly metallic finish. Light body with a gritty, chewy texture and well carbonated. Overall, average at best. Minimal complexity and flavor. Freshness is not really there either. Won't be buying again.

Very smooth and refreshing. Taste is a little underwhelming but does a good job.

It pours a gold color with little head. It doesn't have a full flavor but has enough to keep me happy.
