I'm not saying its bad but why the MO as a base? Cream Ales are supposed to be light right??

Otherwise it looks good

i'd get rid of the corn sugar. you're going to lighten it up with the flaked corn, no sense in thinning it down with nasty old dextrose.

i don't see a real problem with the MO. mine uses 2-row and pilsner (but i also add 0.5 lb each of vienna and munich to give it a decent malt background.)

I used both MO and the corn sugar because I wanted to experiment with different ingredients. I have made this since and replaced the MO with 2-row, replaced the corn sugar with some rice sugar solids, and removed the cara-pils. I will probably make this again without the sugar - I agree with DB about thinning the beer. It was light and crisp, but to much ABV for a nice summer time refresher.
