22oz Bottle pours out a nice dark straw color topped with a white head. Nose is a little corn cereal malt and some grassy notes. Taste is more of the light corn cereal grains and a nice cream.

On tap at Pelican in Tillamook, pours a fairly clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out spicy floral notes and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with creamsicle, toasted malt, and spicy floral notes. Well-made for what it is, but it's a cream ale - how interesting can it be. Okay.

Draught at Thai Smiles, Portland
Hazy blond color. Paper and bread aroma, dry and weak mouthfeel, papery malt flavor, relatively low bitterness. Not bad, just very boring.

Draft pour at the Tavern Hall. From notes. Pours a clear golden color with a lot of fizz. No head. Smooth, creamy flavor with a sweet fruity grain aroma. I seem to think most cream ales are much of the same, though this one was on the flavorful side, which is good. Overall, not bad.

Light golden color. Quick dissipating white head. Lots of honey and floral notes, but slightly astringent when it should be smooth. Low hops. Not really that impressive, but refreshing I guess.

Bottle at Komachi for my 10th cream ale rate. Finally! Rice, malt, lemon in the nose. Rather sweet and fruity, lemony. Light but solid malt. Some grapes and cherries. A bit spritzy, oily body. Reminds me why it took so long to get 10 cream ale ratings.

22oz bottle. Clear orange/yellow witha full white head. Clean light pale malt aromas and soft malty flavor. A little more hops than I was expecting but the balance was nice. Clean palate and a slight fruitiness. Good example of a style that I am not a fan of.

Smooth and slick best describe this cream ale. Small creamy white head, slightly hazy golden body. Sweet malt aroma, bread dough, biscuits. Taste is slightly tangy and sweet, malty, light citrus, hay. Abrupt finish.
