Draught from brooklyneer. Poured a cloudy off yellow. Kind of not so awesome. Maybe cream ale just sucks.

Tap at Dive 75, W 75th St, New York. Pours amber with a lasting creamy off-white head. Aroma of grass, vanilla, some hop, light citrus fruit and cream. Medium sweetness, very light bitterness, touch of sour. Medium body, creamy oily texture, soft carbonation.

Draft. Clear yellow, fluffy white head. Aroma is more hoppy than your usual cream ale. Tasteis bittersweet grassy vanilla. Interesting.

Sample at the brewpub. Hazy yellow-gold color with a thin creamy white head that diminishes gradually. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of grassy hops, fruit and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of herbal wheat, bready malt and fruit. The finish is creamy and mildly bitter with a short hoppy aftertaste. Average overall.

Draught @ The Ginger Man, NYC. Pours clear golden with stable white head. Mild hoppy aroma. Ditto taste, with a slightly estery touch. Mild finish. Very low carbonation. Acceptable but I have tried a better Cream Ale before.

Draft at draught 55. Light nose of hops and while being almost flavorless if you really search you can find grass and caramel. Very creamy palate so no lie there but very watery and bland as can be. Not offensive at least.
