A lot has been written about New Glarus Brewery and what they produce, but not a lot by me, especially here, with the exception of the Staghorn I reviewed a few months back. See it here. I feel a little negligent, since I have been drinking one or another from time to time, but I just had another Cow today and realized I need to put it down.
It is a pretty consistent ale, unfiltered and golden in color, and with a medium amount of alcohol that makes it more of a refresher with a crisp taste, along with being a little fruity. Considered a cream ale, it lives up to its name with a good creamy taste throughout.
They describe it as a cask conditioned, Wisconsin farmhouse ale, and I think I kind of like that description, because it is brewed in a rural area of the state, and when I think of Wisconsin I think of the farm. I usually only considered this as a summer refresher, but it was good right now and remains a year round favorite, even if I can't get it here in Illinois.
CBC Rating: 4.
