American Dream
Simple Roots Brewing Company

 

Poured from a 16 oz can; no birth date. Pours bright yellow with inital foamy head that rapidly recedes. Effervescent bubbles visible with decent carbonation. Slightly sweet cream taste, initially, but rapid fades and left with light bready taste. Okay.

 

 

This was poured into a becher pint glass. The appearance was a nice looking semi-hazy to burnt orange color with a one finger white frothy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving some light messy lacing roaming all around the glass. Nice layered looking cap of a dissipated head. The smell started off with the sweet malts up front, somewhat like biscuits, somewhat bringing in subtle sweet to grassy bitter hops popping over some light honey (every so subtle). The flavor embraces the nice rush of the sweet malts over the grassy hops. Semi-sweet smoothed out edge of the biscuity sweetness rolling into the aftertaste and on into the finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a pretty good sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light allowing the sweetness of the malts to stroll nicely over my tongue. Overall, I say as a cream by American standards it sure fits with a nice grassy hoppiness - slightly different than some others (ain’t no Spotted Cow) and sure isn’t a Wexford. It’s good and I’d have again.
