Serving Type: DraftABV: 5.5 percent
Appearance: Cream Ale has a golden, but still opaque look to the body. It appears so hazy and thick that not much carbonation is noticeable. It's crowned with a quarter inch of foamy, white head which stays on the beer for a good while. So, get used to it being there. Overall, a very attractive and appetizing beer.
Smell: This beer gives off an initial aroma of sweetness and malt, but has a strong backbone of hops that was stronger in any cream ale I've had previously. As you know, I'm usually a big proponent of being adventurous within the beer style.
Taste: The taste doesn't travel too far from where the smell leaves you. It's sweet initially, but the hoppy backbone seems like it gets upset and dominates the flavor and aftertaste as it goes down. In essence, it goes from sweet to tangy.
Overall Rating:
I really enjoyed this beer. Going from sweet to tangy in one gulp is quite an adventure. The maltier brews I've had at Appalachian Brewing have been outstanding, in my eyes, to say the least.
