Cream Ale From May #2

Here we go:

Head is steady and very white. It’s not thick, but it keeps the layer of foam on the beer throughout.

It’s got nice malt nose, too; not strong enough to be called grainy or bready but notable.

The flavors are excellent, to me; the malt is there and the bitterness on the finish isn’t intense at all. The carbonation really picks up the slack when it comes to clearing the palate.

It’s nice to know I can get beers like this made; no, it isn’t perfectly clear but it’s still bright and, as the kids might say ‘crushable’. I think one could easily put away a few of these at a time easily.
