We’re confident it’s the locally-sourced honey that gives this beer it’s well- rounded flavour and fresh ‘hop forward’ aroma. One of our goals was to create a beer that is incredibly smooth with a slightly dry finish, the other was to bring it in at 5% ABV. Is it any surprise that our most popular beer was a Bronze medal winner at the 2014 Ontario Beer Awards?

Can from the lcbo. Dark copper pour with a small off white head. Aroma of sweet caramel, bready malts and subtle honey and molasses. Mouth feel is standard, carb is soft. Finish is low on the bitterness scale with a caramel malty finish. Cream ales simply blow, just a garbage style.

Lots of grass, banana, berry, and white bread, with an underlying floral honey note and not much sweetness. Pretty blah, to be honest.

This cream ale poured a beautiful,deep amber colour with a creamy, off white head. Nice lacing. Scents include honey, vanilla,lemon citrus and a little caramel. First swig was a little thin and to be honest a little disappointing. Very drinkable, but such colour and smell I was expecting a rich malty flavour. Flavours of honey, caramel and toast most prominent but light. Finish is very mildly hoppy with honey/malty flavour lingering.

Pours a clean amber colour with caramel highlights from the can. Warm, creamy-soapy head, long lasting with waves of foamy lacing. The nose is quite floral with different perfumes. Seems like the hops doing this, with notes of green apples over hints of caramel. Hmmm, the taste seems sour, like almost an infection. A floral infection - like what does this have to do with a cream ale ?? Perfume and sourness ?! Where is the honey sweetness. You are not trying to win me over with your first impression.
