Trader Joe’s, Alexandria can: Pours golden with white head. Aroma is sugary with the malts and light hops. This comes out as a pretty simple cream ale. Light hoppiness. Plenty of sweetness. Easy drinking. Decidedly uncomplex, but perfectly acceptable in every other way.

From a 12 oz can at the Big Buns beer dinner in Ballston. Pours a clear gold with a thick white head. Malty nose. Flavors of biscuit and white toast. Smooth, crisp finish.

Crisp clean clear coloured golden coloured body with a thick, three centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of pale malt, alcohol, cardboard, sour grapes, metal and very little else. Light-bodied; Very mild malty flavour with some metal, lemons and nothing else except for some bitterness. Aftertaste shows some pungency from metal and some funky flavours at the tail end, but nothing else really comes out except for a herbal note. Overall, a pretty poor offering, and aside from the can from a craft brewery, not any better than most creams out there - this is lacking in almost every dimension. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Trader Joe’s in Falls Church (Bailey’s Crossroads), Virginia on 6-March-2014 for US$1.67 sampled at home in Washington on 18-March-2014.

12oz can pours a hazy orange with with some thin, creamy, white head. Nose is lemon peel, some herb, a little raw corn, some grass, some wheat chaff, yeasty unbaked white bread. Flavor is alright, sweet, lemon, grass, flower petals, some orange, a little honey. Clean finish. Fine beer.

Can!!! Barely hazy golden color, fluffy white head. Aroma of cream soda. Taste is bittersweet vanilla and bitter herbs. Hmmmmm.

Location: 12 oz can from my Dad, 11/27/13, Thanks for the Hardywood hook-up Pops!

Aroma: The nose of this one has clean pale malts, some bread, and some grass
Appearance: It pours a clear golden color with a nice, lasting white head and good lacing
Flavor: The flavor is clean and malty as well, not too sweet, but very clean, with a grassy finish
Palate: The body is light, it has a clean feel, average carbonation, and a somewhat dry finish
Overall Impression: I could session the hell out of this. It is a super crisp, clean, and drinkable beer, and at under 5% it goes down easy. I can see why many of the hipsters in Richmond have made the switch over from PBR.

12oz can drunk on premise at Hardywood. Aroma was light corn notes, plenty of sweet pale malts, and some slightly grassy notes. Flavor was actually nice malt character, with some grassy hops, and some straw notes. Was nice and creamy and refreshing.

12 ounce can. Pours a hazy golden color with a large fizzy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of corn, pale malts and a bit of grass. The taste is toasted malts, corn, a bit of hay and mild grassy hops. Medium bodied, refreshing. Exactly what I’m looking for in a cream ale.
