Draught at the brewery, 3/25/18.
Has that nice clear gold piss color that you might also call straw-brass. White head quickly fades to nothing.
Actual honey noted in the nose with soft floral touches. Good maltiness to it, with biscuit and grain. No alcohol or flaw.
Malty (honey, cookies, grains) and soft on the palate with engaging, moderate carbonation and light sweetness. Lightly bitter, but no real hop flavor. Pretty nice stuff. Very malty with a soft mouthfeel.

5 oz. draft at the source. Nose is cereal grain, slight yeast. Flavor is mild malts giving a creamy texture for sure. Flavor is vanilla, honey and cereal breads. A nice clean throw back beer that is what it is.

Had this twice, once at the Vermont NanoFest and the following day at the brewery. This is my rating from the brewery, which is sadly worse than what I had at the fest. The beer at the fest was very clear, crisp and bright. The nitro pour at the brewery pours a hazy bright gold with some creamy, white head. Nose has some out of place jalapeno and green bell pepper, then grist and yeast. Flavor has some green bell pepper, then corn and grist, some lemon. Finishes dry and peppery. 6 3 6 3 10

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a nice looking yellow cloudy color with a nice finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice fairly quick yet expected pace. Sly messy lacing.
The aroma had some sweet grains ruffling up the tail feathers of sweet corn and then a light grassy hoppiness.
The flavor leans to the crisp sweet blend of grains to corn with barely any hops there. Sly grainy sweet aftertaste rubbing the finish.
On the palate, this one sat light bodied with a nice sessionability about it. ABV felt where the brewer says so. Maltiness moves nicely along my tongue.
Overall, nicely done Americanized cream ale well worthy of having again.
