This was posted at the brewery, as a golden ale.
Pure, medium gold look. Very laden, with sweet fruity essence, as the aroma. Quite likable, with slightly candied (non-sweet), spiced malt flavors.

IBU: 6

Pours a clear golden color. There's a nice looking 2 finger white head. There's pretty good retention, and there's some beautiful lacing on the glass.
The nose is very minimal. There's just the faintest hint of a malty sweetness here, but nothing else.
Taste - Slight malty sweetness up front. There's a slight creamy taste as well, but on the back there's a bitterness, that isn't pleasing at all.
The body is light. The bitterness leaves a bad feeling in my throat.
Not impressed at all. sorry.

Fairly smooth brew here. Not much in the aroma. Nice fluffy feel, and some grain flavors in the aftertaste. The tiniest bit of bitterness. Letting it warm a bit helps.

Can from Total Wine poured into glass at Lake Kabetogama. I can’t disagree with the myriad tasting notes described here, but mostly get drinkability.

 

On-tap at Able Seedhouse + Brewery, Minneapolis, MN

A: The beer is clear deep yellow in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a short white head that left a collar around the edge of the glass and a patch of bubbles on the surface.
S: Light to moderate aromas of corn are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has flavors of corn along with subtle hints of pale malts. There is a very slight amount of sweetness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and rather smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This cream ale is easy to drink. I thought that the smooth mouthfeel was its best quality.

Serving type: on-tap

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a surprising beer and I am instantly impressed that this brewery came up with this type of beer. Does not resemble a cream ale or golden ale. Dark golden color and dense head. Aroma is a little timid however. I pick up grain and toasted malt. Flavor starts on the sweet side and then some complex malt shows up with toasted and musty notes. Hops add some citrus, melon and a bit of apple in the finish. Good clean finish. Feels bigger than it is. Nice soft texture and good carbonation.

L: gold with a light chill haze. Streams of rapidly rising bubbles permeate the beer and a lacy 2" ivory cap blankets the top.

S: fruit, citrus and tropical fruit hop aromas and some light bread crumb

T: Citrus and tropical fruit introduce the flavors and by mid-palate a moderate bitterness provides balance.

F: creamy, medium carbonated with a medium to medium light body.

O: a very well flavored, drinkable beer to keep in your fridge for when you just need a cold one.

 

 

 

Hazy golden. Thin creamy off-white head. Sparse and spotty lace. Aroma is dried hay and bready pils malt. Flavor is fairly clean. Grainy malt flavor with light hop bitterness. A little pear. Decent enough.
