OK, so my can is labeled a little different; it says nothing about cream ale but only 'crisp golden duck hook blonde ale on the back nine' - whatever, it must be the same beer because the can shown here on RB does say blond ale - so be it. At least its the same ABV, so it must be the same bullshit ass beer. Come on brewers, please keep yer labeling consistent? Pours nearly clear pale. Nose is ale - like, but yet pleasant and fresh considering the date code is fookin stupidly unreadable on the bottom of the can, I think I bot this about 6 months ago, sat in the cellar for a few. Taste is not bad on the initial uptake. Fresh and easy, has good co2 up front but fades near the middle. I like these lower ABV brews, you can really get into them when you gulp em down, fer sher. Not bad overall near the end and finishes with an almost cheap macro pale lager feel; civilized and easy to get along with. Good overall session, nothing insulting going on here.

3 month old can A: Poured clear but dull pale yellow with a short fast falling head. S: Sweet floral and honey scent with faint herbal hops. T: Briefly bitter and quite dry with herbal hops as in the nose. Malts are woody and lightly sweet. Simple but very clean flavors. M: Prickly carbonation, very light body and clean, dry finish make it really refreshing. O: Long overlooked but actually pretty solid and totally crushable.

Draft at the Ryder Cup Lounge in The Carolina Hotel at Pinehurst, NC. Clear gold color with a small white head and poor retention. No lacing. Tastes like a normal lager. Not really creamy, but it is smooth and clean and crisp. Pretty good beer.

Draft at Macs. Clear golden color. Sweet vanilla aroma. Taste is sweet but balanced. Tasty and easy drinking.
