First sip is noticeable carbonation tingle, even though there is so little head. That's damn odd. The flavor is actually very good. I don't know what makes it a cream ale, as it tastes more like a pilsner, but the malt is most notable with grains and bread like a... well, like a five grain bread or something; the citrus is there is really add some interest to it all, and the effect (at least while sipping) is quite enjoyable.
Tip-in is light carbonation tingle and grains. Vanilla and citrus are in the periphery, but they are definitely adding to the enjoyment. The middle is harsher grain, but a smooth, crisp kind of cracker taste is really making it a nice experience. The finish arrives with a bit of tartness and bitterness with lemon and unsweetened cookie crumbs.
Bottom Line: A nice, balanced and crisp beer.
3.75/5
