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.
88 Hive Honey Stung Ale, Uinta Brewing Co. (UT). 4% ABV (3/11)
Rich amber color. Aromas and flavors of honeyed sunflower bread, Raisin Bran and blanched nuts with a crisp, dry light body and a smooth, sprouts-like hop finish. Very nice and refreshing.
84 Monumental Cream Ale, Bastone Brewery (MI). 5% ABV (3/11) %{Brewpub}
Yellow straw color. Fresh corn tortilla chip and egg aromas and flavors are reminiscent of chilaquiles with a hint of avocado and dried apple. Crisp, dry light body and a multigrain bread crust and turnip-accented finish with light grassy hops.
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.
