4/5  rDev +1.5%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Poured from 16oz tall can into a pint glass.

Appearance: rich golden hue with a light haze and a strong effervescence. Head is a thick finger of pillowy ivory foam which is leaving a nice lace as it dissipates. Attractive.

Smell: rich aroma which is quite bready and yeasty. The hops add a nice earthy, floral component. Different, but I quite like it.

Taste: the flavor is exactly what you would expect based on the aroma. There's a surprising depth to the maltiness here with just an edge of corn in the flavor. Breadiness persists, and the floral hops remain with just a little bit of bitterness on the end. Quite balanced and tasty.

Mouthfeel: light body with a decent carbonation which yields a smooth, satisfying creaminess. Good stuff.

Overall: probably the smoothest cream ale I've ever had. Tasty and very drinkable. I'll definitely have this again if I run across it.

Serving type: can

Kind of all over the place (like the last time I was in a Tijuana strip club - circa 2000). I mean, I like it, but I know that something isn't right. Beautiful appearance (like Lolita), and the taste is ok, but a liltle metallic (like Lolita).

Overall, I'd do it again, but it wouldn't be my first option.

The Action is way underrated here! This brew has zero aftertaste. Just easy drinking with this masterpiece. For the style this stuff really is the top of the food chain. It has some hop flavor with excellent mouthfeel. Cool, crisp carbonation make this a great beer for almost any function. The aroma could be more defined but this is quality in a can.

Bottom Line: You could drink two of these guys in 18 minutes easily! Grab some!

This beer is awesome. You can drink this all year during any season. I was actually very surprised at how smooth it was. It pours a cloudy orange with a sweet citrus smell. It's a light IPA with a good mouthfeel and superb taste. There is no bitter after taste at all. A very smooth beer that ranks at the top of my list. Highly recommended!!!
