This top fermenting amber-colored ale is brewed using generous amounts of malt and kettle hops. The trademark of this ale is its beautiful hop bouquet and taste that comes from a liberal dry hopping of the highest grade Cascade hops during the secondary fermentation. The malt firmness of this ale comes from the perfect mixture of two-row malted barley, carapils, and caramel specialty malts. The ale has an original gravity of 1060 and is fermented at 65 degrees farenheight which imparts the classic ale fruitiness to the brew.

12 oz bottle purchased at Metcalf Discount Liquor on 91st Street. Bottled in Apr WK 2 according to the bottle. Pour is clear golden ruby with a one inch off white head. Aroma of lightly toasted malt and floral grassy hoppiness. Aroma has earthiness and mineral in it as well. Taste is very nice, and reflects the nose perfectly. Toasty biscuit sweet maltiness accented perfectly by the slight bitterness of the hops. The mineral character is strong throughout giving this a very unique flavor. I drank and rated this prior to reading the commercial description, and was a bit surprised to see the hops are Cascade on this one. I would have guessed more of an English variety. The body was medium, and very drinkable. Nothing complicated in this one, but beautifully executed.

Bright amber colour. Lightly floral and citrusy aroma with a slight toastiness. Low bitterness. Some woody, citrusy hop notes but a fairly light, watery production overall.

Bottle from sampler pack from Whole Foods in Charlottesville. Pours a fairly clear orange color with thin wispy head. Aroma is flowers, pine and caramel. Taste is caramel with a nice hop profile. Refreshing and straightforward.

Bottle. Amber beer with a nice cream-colored head. Sweet malt and citrus aroma. Nice clean citrus and malt flavor. Medium body. Fruitiness lingers with a bit of malt and a little earthiness coming in. Not bad. Easy drinking.

Oh yea, great name, makes you think creamy beer. Some odor of floral hops. Cloudy yellow orange with thin lacing. Somewhat creamy texture. Similar to weak IPA. A little more personality than my girlie lager taste buds can appreciate. Medium bitter building soapy linger.

Draught at Sheffields, Chicago
Hazy light amber color. An ordinary APA, quite dry and strongly hopped, not much body. Unfortunately, it’s spoiled (apparently, a problem with the keg).

Light citrus hop aroma with a little pale malt. Light amber color with a white head. Medium body with creamy carbonation. The flavor is very citrus hop (not grapefruit) with caramel backing. It’s typically ale fruity. The finish is fairly dry, and nicely, florally bitter. Wholly unexpectedly excellent.

Bottle. Pour is fizzy... a big head sits on top of an amber body that is full of carbonation. Aromas are hoppy, but not very full. At first I thought I picked up pineapple and grapefruit aromas from the hops, but now I’m not so sure. Flavor is watery and hoppy... there is a pine/pineapple presence to the hops that is present, just that there is not enough of a malt body to balance it out. The perk is that this makes it light and refreshing. Still, it is a nice drink, just not something I would get all excited about.
