Why Brew the Spring Fling Cream Ale?
Some beers are bold, some are rich, and some—like Spring Fling Cream Ale—are brewed to be effortlessly drinkable. This is the perfect homebrew for you if you love crisp, clean beers with a touch of citrus and a smooth finish.
✔ Bright, Refreshing Flavor – Brewed with a blend of Great Western Premium 2-row, Goldpils Vienna malt, flaked corn, and flaked rice, this beer has a clean, smooth body with just a hint of sweetness.
✔ Crisp, Lager-Like Finish – Fermenting on the lower end of the temperature range enhances the crispness, making this ale feel almost like a lager but with a touch more character.
✔ Lemon-Fresh Hop Aroma – Perle, Hallertau Blanc, and Lemondrop hops bring a subtle but noticeable lemon and floral aroma, making each sip as refreshing as the last.
✔ Perfect for Any Occasion – Whether you’re grilling, mowing the lawn, relaxing on the porch, or kicking back after a long day, Spring Fling is the beer you’ll want to have on hand all season long.
