Beer Advocate Review #268

Beer: Helm Cream Ale
Brewery: Helm Brasseur Gourmand
Style: Cream Ale
ABV: ?
Serving: Tap
Score: B-

Appearance: 1 finger's worth of creamy white foam that coats the glass on the way down. Body is the color of caramelized sugar.

Smell: A malt nose that is way too discreet.

Taste: Roasted a bit but loads of smooth malt and a slight underlying bitterness. Some nuts, graininess and a light hop bite. As it warmed, a sort of tropical fruit aspect came out especially highlighted by the cheeses we had.

Mouthfeel: Smooth feel with a decent strength of body. Carbonation was also good.

Overall: Not bad at all and easily drinkable. I could see myself trying this again.
