Buffalo Bill's Brewery: Orange Blossom Cream Ale
This is not a ground-breaking beer. This is not even a very good beer. But if you're like me and you have an obsession with orange and cream, you're going to love this.
As I just said, I am obsessed with orange and cream. Orange ice cream bars, Orange Julius, whatever. You name it, and I'll eat/drink it. So when I was perusing the beer aisle looking for something interesting, there was only one choice for me.
The pour is highly carbonated, with a thin and quickly dissipating head. It is pale colored, and highly carbonated. Fairly unremarkable.
The taste is where it gets me. Orange, right off the bat, with some floral accents floating around. The flavor overcomes a lot of the brew's shortcomings, which are many. It is a thin beer, without much going on aside from the orange. I'm not certain what makes it a cream ale. Admittedly, it is a a bit creamy (read: syrupy) but as previously stated, it's a little thin.
The obvious orange flavor covers up the 5.2% ABV very well, and is actually a very drinkable beer. And at about $6 for a six-pack, I would recommend this over any domestic if you have any intent to consume multiples.
In closing, I wouldn't recommend this beer to everyone. It certainly isn't a top-tier beer, instead maybe ranking around the middle. However, if you love everything orange, as I do, this will be a fun adventure for you.
