Sun King Sunlight Cream Ale

For those of you who are not familiar with Sun King Brewery in Indianapolis, you should become familiar. They make some great beers. In only a few years of existence, they have expanded rapidly to become the second largest brewery in Indiana (after Three Floyds Brewing Company in Muncie), and for good reason—their beers are really, really good.

Sun King's Sunlight Cream Ale is a great example of the Cream Ale style of beer: it is a light, smooth beer with a crisp finish that is easily drinkable, and a fantastic introduction to craft beers for any of your friends who are used to drinking what we call the "American Light Lager" (but all too often do not call "beer"). It has a good flavor for a lighter beer (again, for those who know me, you know I mostly drink darker beers)—good, but not as good as the company's Wee Mac Scottish Ale (more on this beer in another post).

If you have a friend who drinks swill—excuse me, American Light Lagers—do them a favor and introduce them to a Sunlight Cream Ale. They'll eventually thank you for it.
