Cream Ale 5 º 40 IBU

La Source Beer Co.

This refreshing Cream Ale showcases a crisp foundation of Pilsner malt and rice, resulting in a lean, highly attenuated profile. The addition of sugar ensures a bone-dry finish that heightens drinkability. As a single-hop showcase, Sorachi Ace takes center stage, imparting its signature aromatics of bright lemon zest, subtle dill, and a faint woody coconut. The fermentation is exceptionally clean, allowing the delicate interplay between the neutral, crackery malt and the unique Japanese-origin hops to shine. Effervescent and bright, it offers a sophisticated take on a classic American lawnmower beer, balancing rustic herbal notes with a sparkling, thirst-quenching character.

Appearance. Pale straw (2-3 SRM). Brilliant, sparkling clarity with a moderate white head that shows fair retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Low to moderate intensity. Neutral, grainy malt aroma from the Pilsner malt and rice. The Sorachi Ace hops provide a distinct lemon and herbal-spicy character. Clean fermentation profile with virtually no esters or DMS.

Taste. Initial impression is crisp and clean. Low malt sweetness with a neutral, crackery flavor. The Sorachi Ace hop flavor is prominent but restrained, offering lemon peel and a hint of herbal dill. Bitterness is low but sufficient to balance the grain. The finish is dry, short, and refreshing.

Mouthfeel. Light body with a very smooth, crisp texture. High carbonation provides an effervescent, tongue-scrubbing quality. No perceptible alcohol warmth.
