The last keg of Weed Death Wheat Ale is about to blow and I need something on the lighter end of the flavor spectrum on tap for the summer months. Now, it seems that every time I brew a "summer" beer I end up not liking it. I think this comes from the fact that I just can't stand wheat beers. Heck, I just haven't liked anything that I've brewed that ends up on this tap. A cream ale seems like it could be more to my liking since I'm a fan of some Kolsch beers and this recipe uses Kolsch yeast and a Kolsch-ish recipe. This recipe comes to us thanks to MuddyMikes on the MoreBeer Forums. Here's the recipe and the label:
