Vernon

Cream Ale (Brown Ale, 4.8%) - Shaftebury's flagship ale, the beer that inspired several other mis-named "cream ales" by B.C. breweries. (Traditionally, cream ale is a light-coloured, light-bodied lager fermented at warm temperatures to create a somewhat ale-like flavour.) This beer is reddish-brown and medium-bodied, with a fruity aroma, a slight citrusy tartness, and low bitterness.

It's NOT as I remember it from a few years ago. Perhaps I bought a bad batch but of the six I purchased today I could only drink one due to a strange and unpalatable flavor that I cannot describe. If indeed this is the way it was meant to taste then I can only give it the poorest of ratings.

Could be a good Ale -- I can't tell because the Brewer has killed any "creaminess" with over-carbonation. Totally personifies the term "Brown Pop"!

the cream ale is so delicious, amazing colour, great taste, I hope Sapporo doesn't mess with this when it buys Sleemans.

Mis-named or not,this is the finest brew on the planet....bar none. Seriously. I have sampled beers and ales from far and wide and this is the one I have been looking for. It is superb. Molson, Labbatts and all the rest of the big names should be knocking at your door and kissing your asses. You have put them all to shame lads. Keep up the fine job and what ever you do, don't change a thing. Cheers and best regards, bjs
