Notes:

Pours 2 fingers of foam that dissipates normally, yellow in color and nearly crystal clear. Aroma is a lightly floral, bread dough, and a touch of sulfur; almost a pilsner Urquell aroma. Flavor is not very pronounced but there are bread dough and floral notes that fade into light corn and honey. Body is medium to thin with very soft carbonation. Overall, I really like this beer and it hits the BJCP guidelines for a cream ale in that it's refreshing and, to some extent, crisp. 4 stars as I'm not too familiar with cream ale but I really enjoy this.
