First brewed in1996, our flagship Muskoka Cream Ale has since become a signature beer of the Muskoka region. Unmistakable with its rich amber colour and inviting floral tones, this laid-back English pub-style ale is smooth and easy-going. With a Cascade hoppiness and fuller body of flavour, this gold-medal winning Canadian Cream Ale is the quintessential taste of cottage country. Raise a glass.

A - clear light copper and extremely bubbly to the point of being ridiculous, as such the head was huge and would not go anywhere
S - some grainy and adjunct aromas, mild leafiness, fairly basic here
T - grain and adjunct with a grassy and metallic hop flavour similar to saaz
M - started very carbonated but got flat as it fizzed itself out, somewhat thin and slightly dry
O - its close to average but has just enough flavour to keep it semi interesting, i might not buy a 6 pack of this but not problem having it included as part of a mixer, would also make a decent option on tap

Look: The colour of orange pekoe tea, with medium carbonation. Pours with a thick 2 finger white head that gives way over 5 minutes leaving a small head across the top of the glass.
Smell: Very light nose. Mild tea.
Taste: Tea with a hint of caramel, dry finish....maybe a slight hint of green wood.
Feel: Smooth, medium bodied. Fills up the mouth, strangely leaves the tongue underwhelmed everywhere but the sides.
This beer is a solid B to a B+ in the right mood. Refreshing, subtle with a few interesting things going on as it warms. This is a great gateway craft beer to use as an introduction to friends new to craft beers.

One of my favorite cream ales. I’m not normally a fan of this style but the amber color, slightly thick feel for an ale, and just enough hop forward flavor works well
