Looks good to me. Sleeman in Canada do a very nice cream ale. It's a good style of beer to introduce people gently to the world of ales I reckon.

Looks an interesting recipe Des. It's a little more complicated than some I've seen. Corn/Maize seems common to most recipes though.

I had a couple of sips of Des's cream ale last week,must say it is rather good and I will be making this one in the very near future

i am pretty sure that the style of CAP's and CACA's is the fact that maize/corn thats in them (along with other things).

Glad you likes it DRB
