92 Liebotschaner Cream Ale, The Lion Brewery (PA). 5.5% ABV (3/09)
Bright golden yellow color with a lively blanket of foam. Aromas of nougat and banana bread follow through on a soft plush entry to a dry medium body with shredded wheat and cream notes. Finishes with a gentle, lightly honeyed fade. A spot-on cream ale.
85 Monumental Blonde Cream Ale, Bastone Brewery (MI). 4.7% ABV (2/09) %{Brewpub}
Brilliant golden yellow color. Sweet honeyed toast and bread dough aromas with a hint of orange peel follow through on a fresh, frothy entry to a toasty dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body with a note of tart green apple, cream corn and twig-like astringency to the hops on the finish. Pleasant.
83 True North Cream Ale, Magnotta Brewery Ltd. (Canada). 5% ABV (3/09)
Deep old gold color. Lovely, delicate aromas of toasted cracker, cornbread and honey follow through on a supple, frothy entry to a dryish medium body with citrus water notes and a steely metallic tang on the finish.
