Notes

An ale version of the light, fizzy American lager style,
cream ale is a specialty of the eastern US. Our Cream
Ale is medium-bodied and smooth, gold in color and
low in bitterness; the specialty grain blend adds some complexity with a clean, sweet malt profile and a hint of
buttered toast in the aroma and flavor. A homebrewed
“lawnmower beer” is pretty hard to beat as a summertime
thirst-quencher.
