Sunlight Cream Ale is our most approachable beer and is a great introduction to the world of Craft Beer. Cream ale is one of the earliest styles of American beer, but was virtually wiped out by American lager brewers.
Our Cream Ale is an all malt beer. Only the finest quality barley, wheat and oats are used to give this beer it’s smooth malt profile which is delicately balanced with American hops and a cool fermentation to give this beer a crisp, clean finish.

Can. Barley malt and sour milk aroma. Golden yellow with a small head with no retention. Strong, slightly tart barley malt flavor. Light fizzy body, very tingly mouthfeel, dry finish that left my tongue with a weird, almost numb, sensation. Wasn’t diggin’ this one.

16 oz. can from trade with Sean & Amber. Totally clear gold color with quickly fading head that had little retention. Aroma and taste follow each other. Notes of grains, corn, grass, pale malts and a touch of bread. How much can anyone get excited for cream ale? The style isn’t real exciting in general. That being said, this is light in body with a dry finish. Lacking any kind of creamy texture. It is drinkable.

Sample at Joe’s Grille in Indy. The beer is a clear yellow-gold color with a medium thin white head that burns away quickly. Spotty lacing. Aroma of sweet corn and malt. Light body with flavors of grainy malt, corn and a touch of mild hops. The finish is clean and sweet with a malt aftertaste. Pretty straightforward beer overall.

16 ounce can shared by BrewEngineer at Butters Slutfest 2.0, Richmond, VA, 4.23.11. Pours a slightly hazy yellow color with a thin creamy tan head. Decent head retention and lacing. Grainy aroma with notes of corn and a bit of grass. The taste is sweet grainy notes and corn. A bit of an aspartame note in the aftertaste. Medium bodied. Fairly crisp.

Can at Butters’ Slutfest, courtesy of BrewEngineer: Barley malt and light grass nose. Shimmering yellow, thin head. Corn flavor. Weak but clean and not as bad as other cream ales.

Can thanks to LtDan. Pours with a slightly hazed golden body and a fading white head. Aroma of grass, grain, vanilla, cereal, and light caramel. Some corn too, but not nearly as much as in other cream ales. Taste is light, crisp, grassy and lightly peppery. Not really a whole lot going on, but it isn’t bad at all. Nothing offensive that I can find. Maybe a bit of pear or light ester. Dry and crisp. Medium bubbles. Pretty decent. Drinkable for sure.

tap at the brewery - Pours slightly hazy yellow with a white, lacing head. The aroma is grainy malt and some light citrus. It’s a light bodied brew as expected with sweet, grainy malt and mild hops. Decent.
