Cream Ale

Ale yeast, lager patience—pale, clean, nowhere to hide.

America's own hybrid — ale yeast fermented warm, then lagered cold until every edge comes off. Corn or rice keeps it pale and light-bodied while the hops stay deliberately out of the way, which leaves a flaw nowhere to hide. Pours gold in a nonic and sits well beside light fare, a salad, or anything off a grill in July.
