Beer Review – R & B Cream Ale


Name: R & B Raven Cream Ale

Origin: BC, Canada

Style:  Cream Ale (4.8%)

Appearance:  This is a very dark, amber coloured ale. It is not very clear. It pours with a small, fizzy head with a short life span.

Taste: The aroma is earthy and of raisins. The flavours start sweet and raisny. The hops are evident, giving it a bitter, grassy finish. There are some notes of a red wine-like flavour in the background, though these a subtle.

Mouth Feel: A medium bodied ale, this cream ale is fizzy with a sharp mouth feel.

Final Thoughts (3.0 out of 5): This is a very tasty ale, though I think it lacks in the ‘cream’ department. It had a sharper, carbonated mouth feel rather than a soft, creamy mouth feel I would expect from a cream ale. Still it was a very tasty beer and I cannot wait to try more of R & B’s beers in the future!
