Pre-Prohibition Series, historic reconstructed recipe from the Robert Portner Brewing Company which operated in Alexandria, VA from 1869 - 1916.
It’s “I LOV IT” backwards, so what’s not to like! A light, easy drinking ale with slight sweetness from flaked maize that was added to mash. One of the few hybrid beer styles that became popular as the push towards maintaining the flavor of a pilsner with the fermentation speed of a ale. A cream ale begins its life as a lager and ends as an ale. Expect a smooth body and more solid head on this beer, hence the name “cream ale”
