Sixpoint Craft Ales Sweet Action Cream Ale at 5.2% ABV | 34 IBU (US$2.29 at Knightly Spirits Orange Blossom Trail, 355 ml, best before 7-Dec-2016, acquired 15-May-2017, reviewed 23-May-2017)
Appearance: clear medium amber with one finger of fluffy ivory head, good retention and moderate lacing. (4/5) Aroma: floral, caramel, resin. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium bitter finish. (4/5)
Definitely one of the best Cream Ales I’ve ever had. Scratch, that, I checked: it’s the best example of the style I’ve ever had. Mostly because of the larger-than-normal hop presence, of course. Unlike most Cream Ales, this one has a significant hop presence, pretty evenly balanced against the sweet malt in intensity. Not a whole lot happening, but very easy drinking. Definitely would not say no to another. (14/20)
