Point Cream Ale

Stevens Point Brewery
United States·Cream Ale
Tap to rate

Point Cream Ale is the brewery's take on the North American hybrid style, golden and light in body and brewed as a sessionable year-round ale. A small dose of vanilla sets it apart from the classic version. Soft grainy malt and a gentle sweetness open the palate, while the vanilla adds a faint, rounded botanical note rather than a dessert character. The finish turns malty-sweet and smooth, with low bitterness and a light, creamy impression.
