An East Coast Cream Ale. We’ve put a wee twist on a classic style. Dry hopped with Mosaic. It is redolent with hop aroma but not very bitter at all. It is a light bodied quaffer designed to be moreish.

I wouldn’t call this a cream ale. It is far too bitter for that. It tastes like a pretty decent lighter pale ale. But is overall an enjoyable beer. Collab Variety pack sk LB

Can: Poured a golden color ale with a nice large white foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of light cereal notes is somewhat bland. Taste is a mix of light cereal notes with residual sugar notes and very little else in terms of flavours. Body is about average with good carbonation. Bland golden ale.

Pours a clean light golden-yellow colour with a frothy white head, average stay and some decent foamy collar. Did not like the first wiff I got, as seemed infected or too yeasty. After breathing a bit, became nicer with light perfumes, cereal grains and light hops. I must admit I was pretty disappointed after my first sip was as weak as the nose, but then it got better. Some decent notes of fruitiness, maltiness and even dryness in the finish. Smooth mouthfeel from the corn (but does not taste it, all well-balanced by the malt and hops). Goes down nicely and gets better by the mouthful.

355ml can. Modest head and a very yellow very clear body. Mellow aroma of rotting peaches. Flavour is very white wine-ish, crisp fruity grains. Dry finish. This is quite nice though not what I would consider a cream ale. Probably something to present to people who like wine but don't like beer.

Mooch tasting, can
Blond and clean colour. It has interesting floral and fruity notes in the nose, it's smooth, lightly sweet, with a decent malt base, and low bitterness of course.
Simple but clean.

341mL can, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Nose brings out cereal malts and toasted bread. Flavour is along the same lines, with cereal malts and bready malts. Grainy and clean, but drinkable enough.

Straw colour. There's a fruity nose, probably hops, maybe like watermelon and blueberry. This has a mellow fruit, light grains and malts, with blueberry and watermelon again. Decent cream ale.
