With hints of caramel in the nose and a touch of spice, this slightly sweet, malty session ale is conditioned with nitrogen to impart a smooth, creamy texture and the classic “cascading effect” leading to a silky finish. With its unique flavor profile, it has become affectionately known as the “cream soda for adults”.

Pours hazy copper color with thin off white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of sweet bread. Caramel and bread dough flavors with a slightly medicinal aftertaste. Medium body with soft carbonation.

On tap. Clear amber golden with an off-white head. Lightly sweet roasted malt in the nose. Medium body with strange toffee-like accents - maple syrup? No bitterness. Strange brew indeed. 120709

on tap, pours a light amber with next to no head. Aroma is light and sugary with a little bit of malt shining through. Very sweet maltyness with light carbonation, ends dry.

Faint cherry aroma.Clear copper, thin head. Tastes of creamy cherries. Tinny and malty palate. My first cream ale that is actually creamy. Still, I’d rather have something else.

Bottle. Medium to dark amber body, clear. Off-white, diminishing fizzy head. Mild nose of malty caramel, toffee, grain, sugar candy and Coke. Slight hint of vinegar. The flavor is moderately to heavily sweet and very lightly bitter. It finishes moderately sweet with an slight astringency. Medium body with a watery texture that turns creamy. Moderate carbonation. Like drinking a sweet soft drink without the fizz, especially red pop. Tastes of cotton candy and cherry. No thanks.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly's, 6/18/09
Aroma: Light nose: caramel, malts, some light spice
Appearance: Clear orange-copper color
Flavor: Nice sweet/sugary flavor, caramel flavor comes through pretty well, cream, light flowery hops
Palate:Light body, drinks really nicely
Overall Impression: This is a pretty good beer, I like what they did here with the cream ale. It's a pretty good example of the style, and a nice beer in general.

Pours clear copper with gold edges and thin tan head. The mild aroma is malts, grains and caramel with a estery-ness that makes it seem like lager yeast notes in the background. The taste begins sweet with malts, a sense of corn and caramel. It then moves towards sugary sweet malts and mild floral hops by midway. It ends with a lingering mixture of caramel, again mild ester notes seeming like a lager yeast quality, mild cherry and red apple candy. It is a bit on the sweet side.

Pours a deep reddish copper into a shaker. Head quickly dissipates to skim surface leaving no lacing. Mild caramel and toffee aromas. Crisp with sweet candy corn upfront turning to a darker caramel in the astringent finish.

Clear deep amber/brown coloured body with a lighter tint and a nice off-white head. Aroma of cherries, iced tea and pale malt. Light to Medium-bodied; Mild taste of fruit with a sweet caramel flavour rolling throughout. Aftertaste very clean & light - a good finish - but mild, even for the style. Overall, a decent beer, but I expected more from Anderson Valley. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 04-September-2005 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
