Nothing to see here. Nothing except the best cream ale this side of the Hudson. Cream ales are a New York State institution and they’re designed to be consumed at least two at a time. We love drinkin’ 'em and we know you will too, so throw one in your tool belt and enjoy.

On draught at the brewery taproom.
L: Clear, golden with a few bubbles rising to a thin head that disappears almost immediately.
S: Nothing much. Clean and light.
T: Tastes of adjuncts. Noticeable diacetyl.
F: Light body with carbonation and a little slick.
O: Very disappointing. Tastes like buttery lager. Easily the worst beer I’ve tried from this brewery.

Many thanks to DrOfGolf for this can!
A - Light gold with dense white lacing ring with light carbonation.
S - Light malt with with some cream over the top.
T - Light grain malt base that is smooth in nature with cream and an ever so slight bit of citrus buried down underneath. Ends on the sweeter side with some lingering cream with delicate citrus buried deep below.
M - Big medium to thick body, much more texture than Cream Ales I've had in the past. There's a little bit of coagulation on the palate from the cream.
O - Refreshing and enjoyable.

A: The beer is slightly hazy straw yellow in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high bright white head that quickly died down, leaving a narrow collar around the edge of the glass and a thin film covering the remainder of the surface.
S: Light to moderate aromas of grassy hops are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell, but has notes of bready and sweet malts. Little to no bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a bit smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The lighter-bodied nature of this beer makes it very easy to drink.
Serving type: can

Can from Vinyl Beer on the UES NYC. Pours a clear light gold with a finger of fluffy white head, great lacing, smell is light doughy/bready malts, hints of grassy bitterness, taste is sweet doughy bread, hint of grass and persimmon, feel is light with nice carbonation. An easy drinking lawnmower beer.
