Schell's Cream Ale

Schell's Cream Ale. 4.7 % ABV. 20 IBU.
August Schell Brewing Company, New Ulm, MN.

Clear, pale golden hue, lasting ivory head.

In the nose: Lightly hopped, slight fruit. Small measure of graininess.

In the mouth: Crisp and clean, brisk. Light in every way, with just enough malt for flavor. Fairly pleasant and expertly drinkable. No flaws in this, perfectly serviceable in every way.

I'm not the one to ask if it's a good cream ale or not, but it's not a bad one by any stretch. Actually, I'm enjoying it. If cream ales are your thing, by all means.

"Our Cream ale is lighter bodied with a subtle creaminess, leaving you with that smooth finish many of our beers have. Every sip is mild and refreashing, yet full of flavor, just the way a Cream Ale should be!" - August Schell Brewing Co.
