Tap to rate

SingleSpeed's hybrid cream ale — 5.2% ABV, 32 IBU, cream-ale corn softness meets a light hop character higher than the style typically carries. Clean lager-style finish, extra-crisp. The Cedar Falls brewery's daily-drinker slot, canned as one of the four year-round core beers. The gateway pour on the SingleSpeed lineup.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for SingleSpeed Tricycle

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright translucence. A dense white head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is visibly active throughout, maintaining steady effervescence.

◌ Aroma

Clean, inviting nose with soft corn sweetness and light grain notes. Subtle floral hop character emerges without dominating—restrained Edelhopfen presence adds refinement typical of the style. Yeast remains neutral and unobtrusive, supporting the overall crispness.

◐ Taste

Crisp entry with gentle malt backbone delivering bready, slightly honeyed flavors from corn adjuncts. Mid-palate remains smooth and approachable, balancing the modest 32 IBU without harshness. The moderate hop bitterness frames rather than dominates, leaving room for the beer's inherent lightness.
