Bridge Brewing Company The Cream of The Crop – Cream Ale at 5% ABV | 20 IBU (2024 BeerAdvent Calendar #2, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 23-Nov-2024, reviewed 2-Dec-2024)
Appearance: slightly chill hazed pale gold with one finger of fine white head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: bready malt, corn, grass, light lemon, hint of butyric. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate-lively carbonation, short duration finish. (3/5)
Well, the Advent Calendar isn’t improving a whole lot. Largely a straightforward Cream Ale, with mild malt dominating over typical grassy hops with just a touch of citrus. There is a creamy note through the finish, but it’s not completely clean and tends a little to the butyric. I don’t hate it, but it’s hard to conceive of a circumstance where I’d seek this out. (12/20)
This will be my 6,026th unique Untappd check-in.
