Naturally cloudy we allow the yeast to remain in the bottle to enhance fullness of flavors, which cannot be duplicated otherwise.
Expect this ale to be fun, fruity and satisfying. You know you're in Wisconsin when you see the Spotted Cow.

Bottle pour into tulip glass from Fresh Thyme, Milwaukee. Appearance is hazy yellow with trace sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with poor retention and trace lacing. Aroma is fruity ester/apple, whiffs of banana and bubblegum. Taste is fruity ester, banana. Palate is light bodied with thin, smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, misclassified as a cream ale IMHO--saison/farmhouse ale is more like the taste (and the brewer's description). Not terribly strong nor complex. Palate is disappointing.

Bottle, courtesy of Sinh4. Pours clear yellow. Aroma is creamy, grains, butter. Body is light, buttery, lively carbonation. Sweetish and softly bitter. Not too interesting, but okay.

Bottle courtesy of Claude, cheers Claude! Shared with, Claude, Loz and Stefan (SinH4) A little grassy on an otherwise subtle nose, light fruit. Soft in the mouth, a little yeastiness, it's a good but no great shakes. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov13 3.2

Bottle. Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is oranges, lightly earthy, pale malts, herbal hops. Taste is orange, forest floor, herbal hops. Very velvety mouthfeel with foamy-ish carbonation. Tasty, but a bit too light maybe.
330ml, can.

Pours cloudy straw yellow with a small off-white head, light lacing. Aroma of grains, corn and citrus. Flavor is grainy, wheat, yeasty and honey
Too sweet for me, I wouldn't want another one

12 oz bottle from the variety pack, from Keyport Liquor in Superior, WI. Aroma is dough, chalky candy, corny, sweet malts, spicy. Pours hazy golden with a one finger white head that falls into a ring pretty quick. Taste is sweet and a bit spicy, flavors of Belgian yeast with bubblegum character, grain. Perfect mouthfeel. Not bad. I don’t see how it’s a cream ale, though. I’ve heard it’s a farmhouse ale, which is closer to what I’m tasting. Maybe it should be in the saison category?
