Sometimes I am in the mood for a simple beer, the Buck Naked Cream Ale is perfect for those times. Not enough breweries make are willing to brew the cream ale style and its a shame because it is a nice deviation from the overly hoppy IPAs being churned out left and right. Perfect for a hot summer day or night this beer gets the job done. If you have any buddie who are trying to make the leap from macro to craft this would be a perfect starting point.

Background: From the brewers site. “Easy drinking cream ale style beer. A little reminiscent of the old days but much better! “Nostalgic and simple. Crisp and clean. Approachable and always in style. This beer brings timeless classic to the modern masses with a thirst-quenching appeal. This is Buck Naked Cream Ale.

Appearance: The can art is very nice, with a deer on the front and an art deco style you will certainly notice this one from afar. The pours mostly clear with a hint of haze. The coloring is a is a light golden hue topped with a semi foamy white head.

Aroma: The aroma is very light on this beer, as you would expect from the style. The only thing I could pick up was a bit of mild malts.

Taste: The taste is beer…but there is a bit of extra sweetness here. Its not as sweet as the major adjunct light lagers but it stands out. The sweetness reminds me of a cold glass of apple juice, with nothing artificial in it.

Experience: Super thin and very drinkable this is a beer drinkers beer. I could easily pound through a six pack by myself. Even though this is 5.3% it drinks like a 4% session beer, which may be dangerous. Still this would be easy to drink at any time, although I would favor the summer months as a nice cold relief brew.

Game Pairing: When it comes to game pairing I decided to go with Deer Avenger 2: Deer in the City. Much like the Buck Naked Cream Ale this is a game that doesn’t take itself too seriously. The idea of a deer getting its revenge on human in an over the top FPS is perfect for a beer like this. I may have been influenced by the can art but I think you will have a great time sitting back with a six-pack and this goofy shooter.

Final Thoughts
I enjoyed this beer, it may not be the best hazy IPA I have tried but it is certainly above average. If you love citrus, especially oranges, than this is a must try.
