Pours a very cleat pale yellow color with a thin white head , Ssmell is wheat ,malt ,bread and corn.. Taste follows nose. The smell and taste were both weak . Mouth feel was weak and unflavorful, I drank the whole bottle cause i was thirsty..it’s water like.

Pours a clear straw yellow with a short lived white cap. No lacing. Aroma is weak, a bit of corn. Flavor is better than the nose, corn and some hoppy bitterness, alcohol. Feel is light bodied and well carbonated. Overall a disappointment.

Pours a clear, pale gold. Excellent clarity, and appears quite well carbonated.
Sweeet.... a bit of grain and “corn”, and pretty much what I expect for a stronger interpretation such as this one. Maybe a bit more fusel alcohol character that some people might like, but it approaches Malt Liquor character for me, and as such is not unwelcome as such. ^_^
Sweeeeeeeeeet! One-dimensional, crushed aspirin Ferrara Pan “Alexander The Grape” candy-like character. A bit of alcohol... and overall, just an impression of “blech!” The buzz had better be pretty damned-rewarding.
As with the flavor, light and one dimensional. For a 6.8% ABV beer of this style, I’d expect just a bit more heft.
A textbook drain-pour. No date code that I can see, and it was purchased cold (and kept cold) from Ombibulous, which is one of the up and coming beer stores in this town. Better luck next time!

I don’t like cream ales
This one I thought was O-K
best I’ve ever liked
Not gonna lie, I’m not a cream ale fan—typically one sip is enough. This one has enough hops and lack of lactose aftertaste to make it tolerable. Less tata juice, more real beer. Refreshing and decent.

12oz stubby bottle, no date
Way better than I thought it would be, and I had high hopes, too! At $10 a 4-pack it's expensive but worth it. I will drink this as much as possible, I wish I could have it on tap.
EDIT: this one has never been as good as the first time... i still like it okay but it's damn expensive for a just okay beer... i dunno what to tell you
