Notes

An ale version of the light, fizzy American lager style, cream ale is a specialty of the eastern US. Cream Ale is medium-light bodied and smooth, gold in color and low in bitterness; the specialty grain blend adds some complexity with a clean, sweet malt profile and a hint of buttered toast in the aroma and flavor. A homebrewed “lawnmower beer” is pretty hard to beat as a summertime thirst-quencher. Aroma: should have faint malt notes, and low levels of DMS are commonly found. Hop aroma is low to none. Faint esters may be present, but not required. NO Diacetyl. Apperance : Should be pale straw to gold. Low to med head with med to high carbonation. Head retention fair. Brilliant sparkling clarity. Flavor: should be low to med-low hop bitterness. Low to mod maltyness and sweetness. Usially well attenuated. Finnish can vary from somewhat dry to faintly sweet. Mouthfeel: should be gennerally light and crisp to med. Smooth mourhfeel with med to high attenenuation. High carbonation. adjuncts can include up to 20% flaked maize, and up to 20% glucose of other sugars in the boil.
