take a shot

Something I've noticed about craft beers and their brewers is that they show a great willingness to collaborate.  It's nice to see such a thirst (ha!) for experimentation and blending different perspectives and traditions, or maybe just creating new traditions.  The label on this bottle is in Danish, but the other brewery on it is Italian.  Something interesting.  After so many recent dark beers, it seemed like time to seek out something light for a change.  Could Cream Ale be the alcoholic equivalent of cream soda?  That would be different.  The label is a little threatening, though...

Wheat in one gun and hops in the other (but the bottle isn't wide enough to show both)

It's a very pale color with as beery a head as anyone could ask for.  The ale smell is faint, but promising.  The bitter comes first, spreading over the tongue, with a very smooth and mild base, that brings sort of an afterthought of sweetness.  There is something rather like a cream soda in it, bubbly and smooth with a vaguely dairy feeling background, but pleasantly unsweetened.
