Ah, the nap. The mark of the unhurried, those who revel in the most basic pleasures of life. A crisp, bright, fizzy brew - clean with a bit if malt character - is all the restful creature need desire. The subtle sweetness of flaked corn adds interest while the low bitterness makes this an easy-drinking cream ale for an easy day. Smooth from start to finish - sip leisurely from a tall glass and enjoy with gusto. Or simply enjoy. The world is your hammock.

Sort of like a dry spritzery Budweiser with distinct corn flavor. Sounds bad but actually pretty good. Starts off tasting like fizzy water, crisp and clean, dry, light crackers malts, then comes corn sweetness. There’s some yeast and lemon in there as well, and a touch of grassy earth. Pale translucent color with ample white head. Smells like water and faint malt. Crushable offering for the masses.

Pours a pale yellow color, not much head. Aroma is farmy, cereal, with a hint of vanillia. Flavor is same, farmy, lots of cereal with a hint of vanilla. Good body and feel. Overly, a very solid cream ale.

Appearance: Clean and pale golden, with a thick white head and loopy, delicate lace.
Aroma: Malty sweet and corny. Not bad, though!
Taste: Sweet and light again, but not overbearing or artificially sweet. Just enough flavor to please and not go anywhere over-the-top. Pleasant and quite enjoyable. Love Metazoa’s animal benefit mission, too. Will buy more of their beers.

Straw to gold color. Nearly no haze. Good spots on the glass from a virtually nonexistent head.
Mild to the point of nothing worth noting. Simply put, I get nothing.
Not my favorite style because of the soured cream flavor. This is a grainy offering with little other tastes of note. Good carbonation enhanced with the thin body. Short aftertaste. Overall, very nondescript.
