16.06.2013, tap @ Alewife Queens:
Nice creamy loooonglasting head. Aroma is slightly roasted, cereal, grain, popcorn, hay, caramel, dough. Taste is slightly dry, light malts, hay, cereal, caramel, grain, grass. Medium bitterness. Fair enough.

Union Hall, Brooklyn tap ($6): Pours a beautiful creamy nitrogen head over a body somewhere between gold and amber, that has a cascading look when poured. Aroma is relatively straightforward, with some more hops than one would expect from the style. Bread and malts... Mouthfeel is a huge plus. This beer feels great. Not a particularly complex brew, but infinitely drinkable and sessionable.

Location: Sampled at the NY Brewfest on Governor's Island, 6/19/10
Aroma: The nose is of this brew is fairly subtle with a little vanilla cream and some light wheat
Appearance: This one is a beige colored beer with a thick and creamy head
Flavor: The taste is also fairly subtle, mostly malts with minimal hop presence
Palate: This beer had an above average palate for me, smooth and creamy, highly drinkable
Overall Impression: Overall, this was pretty mediocre in my opinion. It is a decent enough looking beer, and the palate/drinkability it probably the highlight, but the rest of the beer was just fairly mediocre.

Tap at the Pony Bar. I’ve had various cream ales in the past, but the "cream" part has just never really been there - until now. Thanks to the nitro pour, this baby’s got the goods: a golden hue topped off by a thick, creamy white head. As I drank the brew over 10 minutes or so, it never lost that cream cap. Aroma was lightly sweet malts, some caramel, and faint hops. Flavor is tasty, with some earth malt tones along with mild hop bitterness. Mouthfeel intensely creamy and full. Finish is lightly bitter and very satisfying.

A blonde ale with a thick nitro off white head. A nice caramel and light British hops in aroma. In mouth, a light crisp nutty malt, with a nice balance of hops, light grapefruit, very silky. A bit on the light side. On tap at brewpub, July 31, 2009.
