An ultra-premium, all-malt Cream Ale at 5% alc./vol. Mid-gold colour with a fresh, bread-like malt nose enhanced by fruity hop aromatics. Flavours of fresh malt, subtle sweetness, floral hops and pleasant ale fruitiness all combine to produce a Canadian classic Cream Ale. A moderate hop bitterness and creamy mouthfeel round off the flavour experience. Food pairing suggestions include chowders, sushi, teriyakis, salmon and tuna dishes, corn-on-the-cob, fruit cakes, and brick and colby cheeses.

Bottle - Light sweet bread and honey notes. Clear pale yellow with almost no head. Light grains and sweetness with a bit of richness in the body. Meh.

Tastes like a rusty lager. Not even any real sense of cream here. Pours orange with no head or lacing. Some crisp barley finish. Fizzy texture. Bottle from brewery.

Originally rated May 2004. True North Cream Ale is golden coloured (almost amber), has a good amount of carbonation, and a head that doesn’t last long. I can taste hints of rasberries, with a slight bitter aftertaste. I prefer this cream ale to Sleeman’s.

This cream ale pours a amber colour with a frothy white head. Strong dough scents with maybe caramel? First sip was also a little doughy but watery at the finish. A little taste of malt/caramel. Next to no palate though...sad!

Another one that I've had a few times before but never got around to rating. Served in my slender Thomas Kemper Honey Weizen glass (the glass from which I first sampled my all time favourite cream ale, Rogue Honey Cream). Light bronze colour, with minimal head. Grassy, faintly herbal hop aroma atop of light biscuity malts. Soft malt palate reminds of wonder bread and cookie dough. Hops are around 18-20 IBUs, and gently grassy. This is a simple beer, with little if anything besides those two elements. Slightly prickly carbonation. Light finish borders on wateriness.
