Not sure on the date, I think it says 6/15 but it's hard to tell.

A: A cloudy pale orange pour with a good sized thinly-bubbled tan head atop it. Good head retention. Excellent lacing with thin but solid walls of it.

S: Surprisingly fruity - mainly citrus. Very nice bready aroma with just a hint of toast.

T: Oh yeah, exactly what I was expecting. Some noble hops with some decent citrus and hints of banana. Pretty much pure malt otherwise though, a sort of doughy and bready mix that works really well.

M: Medium bodied, somewhat light but with a great soft and smooth feel.

O: Pretty much everything you'd want from a cream ale. Super smooth and soft, super drinkable, some hops but nothing overpowering and nearly no bitterness either. Very nice malt-forward flavor that really shines. Perfect for the style.

Pretty bright, light golden slightly hazy color. Aroma, grass, lemon, cracker. Taste, cracker light grass, light banana. Very clean, zero bitterness. Buttery at the end too. Mouthfeel, nice and effervescent. Overall- yeah really digging this one.

A-Hazy golden color. Thick, sudsy head that quickly dissipates.
S-Not much smell at all. Light yeast notes if anything.
T-Wheat, yeast, and malt. Very simple but refreshing.
M-It's called a cream ale for a reason! Cream and carbonation are blended well for a hearty yet easily drinkable beer.
O-From the name, to the style, to the overall taste, this is a Wisconsin beer through and through.
*WI native tip*
Spotted cow is 100x better on tap and is the best beer to pair with any spicy food (especially buffalo wings).

On tap at the brewery. Hazy golden. Smells yeasty and phenolic. Some bready malts. Taste is doughy, lightly sweet, banana and clove. Grainy and yeasty finish. Medium body. It’s ok, but unremarkable.
