Traditionally cream ales were made by ale brewers trying to simulate lagers. Many of these brewers added flaked corn to the recipe to give it a smoother, creamier taste, hence the name "cream ale". Ashton cream is made with a combination of grains, these include pale malted barley, carastan malt, and wheat flakes. The beer has a light golden colour, is moderately hopped, and has a creamy mouth feel. Using sazz hops for aromatics, imparts a slightly floral nose and may cause pilsner drinkers to think they have just ordered their favourite Czechoslovakian pils. This is a great beer for people that are not convinced that they like the traditional British ales, but want a premium beer with a north American flare.

Not very creamy at all for a cream ale. Whats the point in the first place? Pours golden clear without any head or lacing, especially for style. Pours and tastes like a lager. Finishes kind of sweet sour and with a sticky texture that stays with you like a molson Canadian hangover. Tap at quinns.

Sampled at Quinn’s Ale House in Ottawa, Ontario. Pours a golden-amber colour with a small white cap. Big grainy aromas and kind of fruity. Hints of scents from a farm (sounds worst than it is) and sometimes, hints of fresh milk (again, the farm). Seems to change a lot. The mouthfeel is smooth. Grainy taste with a little burnt wood and a touch of wet hay and vegetables. Quite unique, and the smoke lingers in the aftertaste. A special cream ale that seems to be brewed fresh... on the farm.

A golden ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet corn malt with light berry notes. In mouth, a grainy and grassy malt with a creamy mouthfeel, residual sugar, herbal hops, a bit strange and off, so-so. On tap at Patty’s, Dec. 10 2011.
