Pours a nice copper color with a white head. Aroma is vanilla, fruit, caramel, and some spicy hops. Flavor is vanilla, some caramel, fruit, a touch of honey, and a nice spicy bitter finish.
Pours a clear orange with a white head. Aroma of sweet malts and slightly grassy as well. Flavor is sweet and caramel. Decent beer, easy to drink.
Bottle. Pours an orange golden body with an off white head. I guess the creamy is suppose to be malty with caramel and vegetative vanilla notes. Thin and simple.
Aroma is a mix of sweet caramel malt and earthy hops. Flavor is sweet, with caramel and candy sugar the main components. Mouthfeel is carbonated but also creamy. Overall, this was actually better than I thought--a good session beer for those cool autumn evenings.
12 oz bottle. Bottle art is whimsical and fun. Kinda hippy-sixties. Pours a heavy copper with nice foamy head. Nose is malty with wisps of straw or grass. Flavor is lightly sweet. The beer is ok, not special. Sessionable. Now, let’s go try something else.
Golden pour with a large white head. Light aroma of pale malts and corn. Light astringent flavor. Slight alcohol in the finish.
Crushed with Jakebra. Very poopy. Never want to drink this again. Terrible. Poop combined with Keystone Light, which makes it a little bit better but not much, and that’s not a complement. Cat, hairball, vomit.
12oz bottle. Pours an dark golden color with a moderate head and some lacing on the glass. The head tapers off rather quickly. This seems and tastes more like a Lager to me. Malty, grassy aroma. Slight hoppy flavor with sweet malts mixed in and a bitter, dry finish. Not a bad overall beer and very drinkable. Nothing specatacular though.
12oz bottle. Pours deep golden with thin white head. Flavor is sweet malt with honey. Finish is slightly tart and crisp. Nice balance of hops. Not a lot of hops, but it’s nicely balanced and works well with this beer. I wasn’t expecting much, but this was tasty.
The appearance was the best thing going on this beer. Aroma was yeasty and the taste heavy on the caramel side. Fairly bland.
The aroma is light but has a sweet malty character and both grassy hops and dust as well. The appearance is light amber gold with a large head. The flavor is like the aroma with a bit of a macro like taste which isnt great but is actually not bad at all. The palate is typical for the style. This is good enough to drink just about anytime but isnt terribly good.
Bottle. Frothy white head, mostly diminishing above a medium amber body. The aroma has notes of grain, grass, dough, apple. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. The finish is only slightly more bitter than the initial taste. Medium body, sticky texture. I am reminded of sticky, sweet apple juice poured through dusty grain.
Cool looking bottle and packaging. The write-up on the bottle had me sold that these folks mean business. The beer itself was light amber ijn color with a filmy white head. In the mouth the flavor was decent, but the finsih was absolutely ho-hum. Honestly, it tasted cheap. Like something you would get from a huge macro-brew. I was thoroughly disappointed. Marketing sells only one time.
Pours a dirty orange, aroma of sweet malt, and a bit of yeast. Flavor is sweet malt. Nice and easy to drink when cool might make a better summer seasonal.
Light brown pour, light head. Some sweet aromas, caramel and clove. Christmas cookie flavors, creamy. Lighter bodied that I would like. Not a real lot going on with this one. Could be pretty drinkable, I’d choose to drink something else however.
6-9-08 bottle
Clear orange with no real lasting head. Smell is a hint of tart dough. Flavor is strange generic sweet dough. Pungent weird sticky sweetness that just doesn’t sit right. Highly carbonated, thin and watery.
Apple cider with thin white head. Aroma of yeast, sweet malts, apple and toasted malt. Taste of apple, caramel and sweet malts. Dry finish that’s semi grainy and just a touch bitter.
Pours clear orangish gold with a short lived white head. Smell is slighty skunky which fades and leaves sweat creamy soda like malt. Taste is pretty sweet and honey like with very light bitterness and is yeasty too. Sweetness prevails and leaves a cheap sticky, and yeasty flavor on the tongue. Thin and bubbly. Drinkable but not really enjoyable.
Didn’t taste all that "creamy" to me. Pours an oaky color with a moderate head and some lacing on the glass. The head tapers off rather quickly. This seems and tastes more lager like to me. Malty, grassy aroma with a pretty good overall flavor. Slightly hoppy with malts mixed in and a slightly sweet, bitter, dry finish. Not a bad overall beer and very drinkable. Nothing specatacular though.
Bottle. Not all that bad for a cream ale- and fairly drinkable. A bit of DMS throughout- some creamed corn and light cabbage- grainy and slightly gritty in the palate after it warms- when cold it is pretty easy to drink though. One of the better cream ales, but I still wouldnt drink this again.
Bottle. (Cool label so I’m adding one point to appearance.) Pour is an amber that borders on copper with a little bit of an off white head that dies down in short order. Aromas are understated and boring with a touch of grainy sweetness and caramel. Flavor is pretty darn nice. Almost like a creamy amber ale without too much crisp hopping. Sweet and creamy caramel malts with a bit of a honey background and just a touch of yeast and hops that balance things out a little and keep it from being cloying. Wonderfully simple.
Feb. 2007 - Poured brownish orange, clear with next to no head or lacing. Aroma was sweet malts and a tinge of lagerish bitterness. The flavor was sweet malt, bread and a touch of bitterness. A bit syrupy as it warmed, definitely not watery. Was just ok.
Bottle. Pours amber with a white head. Sweet/fruity malt aroma with caramel and peach notes. Body is pretty thin and the flavor is rather light. Sweet malt, caramel, and just a hint of hops. This beer is average at best.
decent, i agree with the previous bland comments. not creamy, but sweet. I can really taste the wheat in this one
Bottle... Poured amber with a thick foamy head, nice lacing. Malty, wine-like aroma. Syrupy based palate with fruity wine flavors, clove, and mild hops, very yeasty which sorta balances it. Reminded me of a sweeter Newcastle.
Not bad at all...could use more hops, though. But I still prefer the Wicked Ale or Strawberry Blonde.
Decent enough to drink, but I don’t get where they call it "creamy". It was no different than any other amber.
This is a very pleasant, light but tasty beer. It is copper-gold with a medium off-white head that slowly dissipates to a wispy head. The aroma is bread, malty and slightly meaty, with a light pine element and stewed currants. The taste is similar being mostly malty grain, a faintly meaty, fruity alcoholic quality, and stewed currants. It has a definite sweetness and a mild but definite grassy bitterness. It’s mild, but still very tasty, with some complexity, a satisfying palate, and it is very easy to drink.
Tongue on blue label. Bread loaf yeast fragrance. Brobdingnagian foamy head that eventually fades to rocky chunks. Behold to the eye, a hyaline orange yellow appearance. Some bubbly tang for a mouthsense. Uncultivated malt or hop taste experience. Overall a little too much ale disposition than I care for. Not as good as Anderson Valley Summer Solstice Cerveza Crema or West Virginia Cheat Mountain Gold. Probably on par with Oskar Blues Money Shot Cream Ale
and Gennessee Cream ale.
Bottle: Poured a perfect amber color. Small off white head that slowly disappears. Flavor is nothing special. Mild aftertaste. Little that sets it appart from the rest but not a bad drink what so ever.
