More About Cream Ale (BJCP Style 1C):

Cream Ale is a classic American beer style known for its smooth character, high carbonation, and exceptional drinkability. Developed in the late 1800s as an ale competitor to popular American lagers, Cream Ale survived prohibition and continues to charm beer drinkers today with its subtle malt sweetness, gentle hop character, and signature corn-like aroma and flavor.

This beer is highly approachable, often referred to as a perfect "lawnmower beer," thanks to its crisp finish and clean profile. While similar to American Lagers, Cream Ales offer a bit more complexity and character, yet remain lighter-bodied and smoother than blonde ales or Kölsch.

Cream Ale Style Range:

  • SRM: 2–5
  • IBU: 8–20
  • Original Gravity (OG): 1.042–1.055
  • ABV: 4.2–5.6%

Great kit! Worth your time for quick American pale alt.

The kit came with easy to follow instructions and all of the ingredients you need to brew a 5 gallon batch, except of course, the water. The kit comes with corn syrup that you can use to bump up the ABV to over 5% if you like. I only used half the syrup for an ABV of 4%. If your new to brewing or you're a seasoned brewer who doesn't want to all-grain, this is a great choice.

Blonde cream ale

The kit color did not match the kit description. It did not come out blonde. More like an amber ale.

Everything turned out great in the end

I recieved molasses instead of corn syrup. I assumed I was sent all the correct ingredients and began brewing only to have to run to the grocery store for corn syrup in the middle of my brew. With all of the correct ingredients the beer turned out great. I guess we both need to be more vigilant about double checking our ingredients/recipes (but nobody is paying me to acurate...)
