We brewed this Special High Gravity Cream Ale in serious celebration of the return of the salubrious Spring... With the long dark days of the Season of Damp nearly behind us and the possibilities of a long languid Summer ahead.

Thanks to Darkelf for this one. Sirius reminds me of HOTD Ruth. It has some strange spices and herbs in the aroma and flavor on top of a grass-corn-malt body. Cloudy orange, and lots of small pieces of sediment. Earthy. This would be good in the warm weather. An enjoyable change of pace.

Bottle Pours a sllightly hazy golden yellow with a thin white head. Light fruity aromsa and a healthy hops kick. Flavors were quite bitter but not in a good, hoppy way. Seemed a bit off. Plenty of malts for body and a nice thick heavy feel. Linger bitterness again that I didn’t think was only the hop profile. May have to try again soon.

Golden with a light copper tint and a substantial white head, great lace - fruity, malty nose with a background of mustiness and tartness - really hoppy up front, with a gradual swell of light fruits (strawberry, blueberry) and a bready, yeasty finish - quite nice.

Orange/golden coloured body with a very nice white head. Aroma of strong citrus hops with some sugars & floral essences. Medium-bodied; Bitter hop tastes up front with strong flavours of grapefruits. Aftertaste very clean for such a hoppy taste. Overall, a very nice ’light’ beer-definitely worth trying! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from BevMo in Danville, California on 18-July-2004.

Deep gold large lasting white head.Grainy malt nose.Slightly sweet malt start, turning into an odd bitter rather unpleasant finish with noticeable alcohol heat. Unbalanced. Great lace. A brewery I like, but a beer I don’t

Good IPA!!! This lacked any corn flavor which is characteristic of a cream ale. Nice hoppy IPA with a huge creamy head. Malt and hops in the nose and a well balanced flavor that finishes with a bitter touch. Cream Ale?? Where???

Bottle. Golden beer with a white head. Grapefruit aroma with a little sweetness coming through. Taste is easy going with a nive balance of biterness with a little earthy grassiness and a tough of malt showing through. Finish is a little more than I want - creamy, bitter, but a little too creamy and a little too much of a resin aftertaste. Good start, lacking in the finish.
