You started with cream in your coffee, now have coffee in your cream ale.
We took blonde beer, then calibrated it with roasty coffee and a touch of creamy sweetness. Start and end the day with craft brew. CREAM! It’s Mad Science.
That moment... you wake up, shake up, hop outta bed, damn that floor is cold! Need something HOT to get the juices flowing. Let’s brew. Grind it, mash it, steep it, pour it over. Watch the chaos, the alkaline swirl through the roasted, acidic elixir. It doesn’t take a pH.D: Drop the Acid, Drop the Base, Drop the Mic...

Can to finish off night, pretty design. Nose is vanilla and creamer. Tastes of heavy cream, vanilla, hint of hops, faint coffee milk (RI style), light malt, and sugary. Interesting creamy brew.

Pours clear dark golden color with white head. Coffee and cream aroma. Sweet cream and coffee, and vanilla flavors. Medium body with average carbonation.

BB 11 Jul 2016.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a semi-hazy burnt orange color with a slim finger’s worth of foamy white head that quickly dissipated. Remnants of filmy white lacing roamed around the glass.
The aroma smelled like cold pressed espresso moving delicately over top of sweet creamy notes of a blonde ale. Yes, I do believe that I do get a little bit of sweet corn as it warms.
The taste was pretty much the same but barely any of the sweet corn. Light sweet coffee aftertaste slides into a semi-wet sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a good sessionability about it. Carbonation feels good, pretty low allowing the creaminess to lay down softly on my tongue. Coffee portion is smooth.
Overall, so this seems to be a cross between a blonde ale and a cream ale, I guess? With Sixpoint adding some coffee in to balance and enliven. I’d say they did a really nice job just by combining two unpopular styles. I’d have again.

12 oz. can purchased at Spruce Creek Provisions, Kittery. Do you yourself a favor, DON’T drink Ballast Point Calm Before the Storm right before this. It just isn’t fair. Clear blonde / amber in color with no head. Aroma has a weak amount of coffee bean, caramel candy, maybe straw.
Even when warm the flavor seemed a bit lack luster. I know it wasn’t fair comparing Calm before the Storm to this brew but even after I let it warm; the only flavor at all was mild ground coffee. The mouthfeel lacks the signature “creaminess” people look for in the style. Perhaps carbonation was just off for some of this batch?? Overall for a Cream Ale I think I would rather just drink Sweet Action from this brewery. Also, I am a coffee lover. Any of my friends would tell you so. Just not feeling this.

Can: Clear, dark brassy-gold with a thick ivory head. Light coffee, grain scent. Taste is sweet, grain malt, mildly sugared coffee malt. Creamy, of course....just a touch of toasty bitter..... The coffee really starts to show as it warms some... Really nice.
