12 oz bottle poured. Bottle purchased at Belmont Station. A clean, clear, pale golden pour. Thin, fading head. Watered down grain aroma. Not a whole lot going on, though I expect an impressionable aromatic quality in a cream ale is hard to come by, unless you are adding a bunch of stuff to the base. Not bad means good in this case. Crisp in taste. Cool and clean. Not a whole lot of flavor going on. A slight dusty grain going on, with a watery finish. A stay hydrated kind of beer for me. Not a whole lot else going on. Not bad at all.

Had to clean the palate mid flight.

Bottle. Pours clear yellow. Aroma is malt-forward and lightly buttery. Body is light, with a low carbonation, some malty sweetness and little bitterness. Palate is short, but not watery. Goes down almost like water, yet clearly is not water in every sense.

GABF 2014. Pours a fairly clear golden yellow appearance with an off white head. Clean profile. Some sweet corn, dough, biscuit, and a bit of lemon. A little bit on the sweet side but overall a solid offering.
