Brewer's Notes:
Since we like a taste of home in our beers, we set our sights on the fabled Unicorn of American Brewing: a beer that's light (in color/body/etc.) that won't let you down in the flavor department. And lo, we done it! We took a cream ale and goosed it with some good ol' Bone Up magic, and made a tasty brew that'll disappear from your glass before you know it and then you'll have to try and convince your roommate to get you more so you don't have to get up. I’m told that the British call that “moreishness.” There, you learned something today. Go ahead and crack one open, you earned it.
Despite being my favorite beer that we make, this is one of the hardest to sell people on (assuming I don't have samples). "What the hell is a premium cream ale?" they ask. Truth be told, this beer sits more-or-less-directly between a pilsner and a saison, but it turns out there isn't a word for that. Nomenclature aside, this beer is light and crisp and has an ever-so-slight spiciness that'll keep you bendin' your elbow until you run out and you need to go get more.
