Traditionally cream ales were made by ale brewers trying to simulate lagers. Many of these brewers added flaked corn to the recipe to give it a smoother, creamier taste, hence the name "cream ale". Ashton cream is made with a combination of grains, these include pale malted barley, carastan malt, and wheat flakes. The beer has a light golden colour, is moderately hopped, and has a creamy mouth feel. Using sazz hops for aromatics, imparts a slightly floral nose and may cause pilsner drinkers to think they have just ordered their favourite Czechoslovakian pils. This is a great beer for people that are not convinced that they like the traditional British ales, but want a premium beer with a north American flare.

ABC Cream Ale certainly has a bitters kind of thing going on but it's not as malty as a bitters but it is slightly more carbonated (but not too much). I am probably comparing apples to oranges...

It's a good beer. Go for it if you want a cold beer on a hot day and a beer that reminds you of a malty ale but with more carbonation and less sweetness.
