Pale golden pour. Strong cannabis aroma, light coffee. Creamy finish. Pretty good stuff.

Clear golden coloured body with a slight orange and copper glow, all with a half centimetre tall rather funky looking tan head. Aroma of rich fresh hops, some subdued grassy and herbal elements and a touch of malt with alcohol. Medium-bodied; Assertive grassy and herbal hoppy flavour with a big kick of alcohol, bitterness and pungency on the finish especially with a touch of fruits, some light grain and a ton of grassy and malt elements noticeable. Aftertaste is deep and bitter from the hops, but more bitterness from the malt shows through. Overall, an interesting beer with a nice aroma, but the flavour and especially the palate leave just a bit too much bitterness and funky flavours from the malt and offensive side of things. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Giant Food in Falls Church, Virginia on 04-March-2016 for US$1,75 sampled at home in Washington on 04-June-2016.

Growler, split at the March DC Tasting. Poured a golden yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was light tropical fruit notes, light citrus. Light fruity notes. Light and creamy, malts. Citrus. More of an IPA than cream ale, but not bad at all.

Really like a pale ale. Way more hops in this than the average cream ale warrants. Golden pour. Bitter finish. Tap at rustico.

Draft at Meridian Pint. Crystal clear golden yellow color, thin white head. Aroma of peppery citrus. Taste is peppery lemon, straw. The hoppiest cream ale I’ve had.
