Canyon Cream Ale falls into the blonde or golden ale category. Characteristics of this beer style are a straw color with a white head. The aroma is of sweet malt with a hint of honey and a slightly fruity finish. This is a light-bodied beer with very low hop bitterness and no hop aroma or flavor. This beer is very drinkable especially for the craft beer novice (We call it our “gateway beer”). Canyon Cream Ale is brewed with the finest quality Pilsen malt with Carapils malt added for body adjustment and local honey added for flavor adjustment. Hallertau and Saaz hops are added to balance the sweet maltiness of this ale. Original Gravity is 11.2°P and alcohol by volume value is 5.0%.

Corn, milk, orange, malt, and straw aroma. Pale yellow with large white head. Mildly sweet citrus, creamy barley malt, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Okay body. Light but a pretty good cream ale.

12 ounce can from Brookings SD Liquor, 8/10/20. Hard to believe these guys made my first SD beer ticks way back in 2013! Hazy pale gold, large foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of corn, crackery pale malt, lemony hops. Taste is lemon, corn, hay, pale malt. Medium bodied, mild bitterness, decent balance, crisp. Nice cream ale.

Perfectly clear golden coloured body with a very light tan head, about three to four centimetres tall. Aroma of light malt, a touch of cardboard, some soft apples and stone fruits and a dash of lactose/cream along with a hint of bread, yeast and some dry earthy and rustic scents. Light-bodied; Very fresh malt flavour of biscuity and cracker-y malts with a dry caster sugar note and some hits of apples and lighter stone fruits. Aftertaste is crisp without too much flavour and showing some light malts, a hint of sugar and very little else - no hops to speak of at all, and nothing bitter in the slightest bit. Overall, a decent enough cream ale that has some very soft flavours that aren't too pungent or strong, but shows some light flavours and soft sweetness with a relatively fresh malt kick towards the end. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Family Fare [grocery store] in Rapid City, South Dakota on 25-June-2020 for US$1,67 sampled in my hotel room here in Custer, South Dakota on 27-June-2020.

12oz can. Filtered yellow tan body. Respectable enough white head. Kind of a funky off aroma...not devastating, but not that impressive either. Thin and water, cheap grainy corn feel. Easy drinking, sessionable. OK for the style. Honey is faint. Big ups to Ben for my first SD tick!

12 oz can. Pale, clear beer. Small fizzy white head. It doesn’t smell like much. Mild hay-ish very pale malt. Light lemons. Quite clean, though. Mild pale malt sweetness in the taste. Fairly dry. Again, it’s very clean and lacks any off notes. Somewhat creamy but quite light on the palate. It’s a refreshing light beer. Boring but nothing wrong with it.
