Ingredients
Best Pils: 9lbs

I refer to this Cream Ale as a pre pro because it has some more malt, and hop flavor than a modern Cream Ale. The Flaked Maize adds just the right amount of corn as would've been done years ago. From what I have read Cream Ale originated from the american brewers trying to reproduce the new Pilsner styles back in the 1800's before everyone had the true Lager yeast. This recipe is my attempt as it might have tasted like.

I brewed this a couple years ago and loved it, but I dry hopped it with 1/2 oz perle for some extra 'juice'. I would like to do it again according to this recipe.
