Cream Ale 5.5 º

Helltown Brewing

Helltown Brewing’s Stick Shift is a quintessential Cream Ale, offering a brilliant, straw-colored pour with high, effervescent carbonation that underscores its refreshing nature. The sensory profile is defined by a delicate balance of pale malt graininess and a subtle, creamy sweetness evocative of flaked maize. Aromas of soft, sweet corn and a faint floral hop presence invite a sip that reveals a clean, well-attenuated palate. The mouthfeel is smooth yet crisp, moving through neutral cracker-like malt notes toward a dry, thirst-quenching finish. It is an effortlessly drinkable mild ale with more character than a standard lager, maintaining a restrained and polished profile.

Appearance. Pale straw to light gold (approx. 3 SRM) with a low-to-medium white head and brilliant, sparkling clarity. Highly effervescent.

Aroma. Medium-low intensity featuring sweet, corn-like notes and light grainy malt. A very low floral hop aroma and faint fruity esters are present, alongside a clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial low-to-moderate malty sweetness with a distinct cracker and corn-like flavor. Low hop bitterness provides just enough support to balance the neutral malt. The finish is crisp and mostly dry, though a faint, creamy sweetness lingers briefly in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation that provides a prickly, thirst-quenching sensation. Smooth and well-attenuated with no perceived alcohol warmth or astringency.
