12 ounce can poured into a tumbler style pint glass.
Canned 6/24/20

Pours gold and almost clear showing plenty of visible carbonation with a one finger white head that lasts about half a minute. The nose is mild but in line with a cream ale, grainy and spicy with a whiff of corn. Fairly balanced with mild sweetness and bitterness, but more malty to start and shifting to slightly more dry and bitter to finish. Grainy and lightly sweet floral flavors. Body is medium weight, starting smooth with a crisp bite building to the finish. Carbonation is medium-high. Easy drinking and thirst quenching, a great cream ale to my taste and favorite of the style so far.

It looks inviting as it pours, a pale, not-quite amber that adequately services its Golden Ale title. The smell is very light, barely detectable but not unpleasant. In contrast to its smell, the feel is quite full - strong-bodied, almost crunchy. As a "barley, wheat, corn, and oat" composition, I appreciate its lack of fruitiness and candid flavor. It's a little piney, and a little tart, but still enjoyable on its own. a great beer to chill with or enjoyed with lighter fare.

Clear golden body with no head but some lacing. Smells typical for style: sweet corn, sweet bread, berries, and honey. Not sure what is with the hate, good cream ale sweetness with decent complexity given the style, berries, honey, cereal, citrus zest and very, very slight hops. Feel is creamy, smooth with some intermittent graininess.

12oz can, served in a pint glass. Going to keep this review short because it didn't do much for me. Clear golden yellow body. Essentially, the smell and palate on this reveals this to be a bready, slightly astringent, caramel and toasted biscuit beer. Earthy and slightly grassy finish. Found this one to have a light body, fair carbonation, decent drinkability if you don't think too much about it.

Quite the perfect session beer. Really easy to drink yet just enough flavor to enjoy and not be bored. Highly recommend. May be my new summer beer.

Can to becher pint glass, the appearance was a soft yellow cream color with a slim cap of a little white foamy head. Sly lace, just slid right into the beer. The aroma had some sweet grains, subtle sweet dough, light citrus, and some soft sweet biscuit. The flavor was sweet throughout with the normal lingering sweet doughy aftertaste I expect from the style which guided into the finish as directed. The palate was light bodied with a great sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt appropriate. Overall, for an Americanized cream ale, what’s not to love. Are they drinking kegs of this at Orioles games? I would if I lived in the Baltimore area.

Pours attractive with a respectable offwhite head and a basic, bread and butter malt note atop a pale body. Basic and appropriate.

Fresh hops initiate the sip before returning to the familiar bread/biscuit note in the finish. Lasting aftertaste but still clean and crisp for the most part. Seems more like a pilsner, as I'm not really getting the smooth, silky texture of a true cream ale, but it is tasty and worth trying.
