Honey Cream Ale
Appearance: A hazey, golden colored beer with orange highlights. It had an almost white head that rose up big and settled into a thin layer over the top of the brew. Towards the end of the drink, only a sparse ring was left around the circumference of the glass. There was minimal lacing. This looked a lot like a wheat beer after it was poured. Smell: The main smell was hops, with just a bit of malt thrown in. On top of all this was a sharp, almost sour, aroma that I could not attribute to anything. I don't think it was from the hops, but I don't know what caused it. Mouthfeel: Thin- to medium-bodied brew that was semi-smooth. I was expecting a little more from a beer with the word "cream" in the title. Taste: There was a weak malt presence up front, with a nice hoppiness that kicked in very quickly. The hops lingered well into the aftertaste. Over the top of everything was a mild sweetness. If this was caused by the honey, then that was the only time it made itself known. Not a bad beer. Just run-of-the-mill and not too special.
