Cloudy pale blond color, small compact head. There is some plastic in the aroma, and manure. The flavor takes you off guard: there are the spices, coriander and clove, some astringency, and an unusual level of bitterness, pithy.

Blond color, very pale. There is not much aroma, the flavor is mild, a hint of malt, and the bitterness is on the mild side; the mouthfeel is weak and dry. If one thing to say, this beer is light, delicate, soft and very clean.
So, Cream Ale is uninteresting in general, this one is brewed sensibly.

Pale blond color. The aroma is too mild, the mouthfeel is lean and dry, the flavor has a lot of straws, and the final is quite herbaceous.
Not too bad.

On tap at Gruff, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out Belgian yeast, some coriander and light clove. Flavour is very spicy, with ample coriander dominating, followed by a sort of Belgian yeast quality. Meh.

On tap at Gruff, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out tons of sage, which totally dominates. Flavour follows on that line, with no notice of the blackberries. A sage bomb. Decently done.
