look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

12 oz brown bottle with a freshness date on the label.

A- Orange amber hued brew, two fingers of head stay steady with great retention.

S- Apple and pear fruitiness, whiff of orange blossom like hop smell and a fresh malted grain aroma.

T- Fresh hop flavor with a medium bitterness stack up well to the caramel like maltiness. Mandarin oranges and pears come to mind, more hay like hopiness and grain in the semi-sweet finish.

M- Light crispness rolls out to be a creamy smoothness, medium bodied.

D- Solid enough to drink all night, a good medium to pair many foods.

I am very impressed, if you love hops this has a well rounded hop character.

I got this in the 8 pk. Sample, one beer each, ok for $10 bucks.

I've enjoyed the cream city the most so far, better with more flavor than the iPa.

Poured an amber hue, off white head that maintained ok. Spotted lace.

Citric hop of fruits allow the aroma to grow the taste.

Citric hop of orange zest, pear and apple wrap around a solid malt bass.

The mouth is not thick nor dried.

Overall a well rounded pale that I would buy again.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Reviewed live.

A- Half a finger white head. Virtually no retention. Golden color with very low clarity. Would look a lot nicer with a longer head.

S- Floral, juicy and really just an inviting smell. Floral hops, a delightful apple aroma. Really delicious smelling. Maybe I'm going overboard here, but I love this.

T- Juicy and floral hops with a slight bitter finish. Apples here too. Just amazing flavor. I can't believe how much I like the flavor in this beer.

M- Light feel, fizzy carbonation and a wet finish.

O- Smell and taste are just great. Appearance was lacking and the feel was just alright.

Lakefront is a very surprising brewery. I have had many of their beers. They are very much like Great Lakes (OH) or Schafly.

You would think a beer named Cream City should be a Cream Ale.

It is an orange beer with a great head and lattice work.

It has a slight flowery smell

The taste is piney with a citrus finish

The tongue feels the hops and coats alittle.

I bought this as a single. I should have bought a case. It reminds me when I first drank Flying Fish XPA in the 90s
