This very smooth lager offers a subtle pilsner malt flavor matched with a crisp hoppy character. The Paddle-Me Pale Ale is clear amber, with a medium body and very smooth mouthfeel where a nice mellow but rich maltiness is accompanied by a great hoppy character that lasts into the aftertaste. The dryness of this medium-bodied nitro brew lasts into the finish. Light in body, the wheat comes through to dominate the flavors. Bartenders such as Clay know their beers and enthusiastically pour the ornate sampler sets for those interested in exploring the spectrum of Creek beers.

Bartenders typically experience at least one brew session with brewmaster Stefan Arnason. Unfortunately, the hand-pumps are no longer in use at Creek. It seems the customers didn't appreciate cellar temperature ales. All beers are unfiltered and beers such as the Pale Ale have had 15 barrels disappear in just one week. The business is licensed to self-distribute and actually leases its liquor license and space from the attached hotel operation.
