Cream Ale

Cream Ale is a light, refreshing American hybrid beer style that combines ale yeast fermentation with brewing techniques similar to American lagers. Characterized by a crisp, clean flavor with subtle malt sweetness, low hop bitterness, and a smooth mouthfeel, it originated in the pre-Prohibition era as American brewers' attempt to compete with popular lagers. Typically brewed with pale two-row or six-row barley malt, corn or rice adjuncts, and American hop varieties.
