New Glarus Spotted Cow

Something amazing happened in Wisconsin: there is a craft beer that is available absolutely everywhere. Spotted Cow, the flagship product of New Glarus Brewing Company, is as universally available as any beer from multinational corporations. It is a crisp refreshing beer, simple enough for the gulper of yellow fizzy stuff and flavorful enough for any craft beer lover. Though, for those outside of Wisconsin, it is something to simply read about or enjoy on your next trip to the cheese beer state.

Aroma: Medium granny smith apple and white grape esters, low doughy malt with a hint of hominy like corn, very low herbal hops
Appearance: Rich straw yellow, fairly clear, foamy white head with good retention leaves light lace
Flavor: Low grainy sweet malt, low golden delicious apple and green Thompson grape esters, very low herbal hop flavor, low bitterness.  Finish is mostly dry.  Low herbal hop aftertaste with low fresh sweet corn and grainy notes and growing granny smith apple ester.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body, medium-high carbonation, very low astringency, no warmth, slightly course texture
Overall: A crisp and refreshing Cream Ale with enough malt and esters to keep it interesting.  A far cry from its mass produced cousins.
Impact: low
