Ceeps Cream Ale
The CEEPS / Barney's

Deep straw, pours about a finger of bleached white fizz, which doesn't last long. Simple nose of grassy hops, cereal grains, pale malts, green apple. Tastes of the faintest bitter hops, sweet pale malts, slightly vegetal, cereal grains. Highly carbonated despite the lack of head. Prickly finish. Not exactly a cream ale, but not horrible either.

Enjoyed on tap at the brewpub. Light yellow with some light head. Not impressed with the aromas. A bit thin mouthfeel, and overcarbonated for what it is which is a malt beer with a touch of hops. Beer served too cold. So-so drinkable.From distant memories, a step up from their original lager.

On tap at the brewpub. A new beer from the Ceeps, described as a "a craft brewed cream ale with a hoppy citrus character." Didn't pick up any of these features, but it's not a terrible beer.

Pours a golden straw yellow with a sliver of white head and almost no lace. Smell and taste are creamed corn, oatmeal, wheat cereal, adjunct grains, some metal, and a tinny, hollow hop flavour (sort of grassy) with zero bitterness. Malty astringency in the aftertaste, very macro-like. Mouthfeel is on the light side of medium, with a tepid, faint bite mid-body and low level of dryness to finish. While there's nothing distinct about this ale, it's actually quite drinkable. Worth a try if you're interested in this brewpub's undistinguished beers.
