This recipe has been designed to be consistent with the 2021 BJCP Style guide 01C - Cream Ale.

Sunshine of your Love is a cream ale designed for The League of Brewers by Jamie McQuillan of Cell Division Brewery.

The sun is shining fiercely, it’s hot as hell and you have sweat running down your back after mowing the lawns. What is better than a classic lawnmower beer such as a cream ale? An easy drinking ale, well attenuated and refreshing with more character than typical American lagers.

This beer is all about balance, being subtle and restrained with med-low bitterness and low malt sweetness. Coming in at 5.0% abv, it’s light and crisp, with maize and sugar to lighten the body and soft spicy (herbal and floral) notes from the Willamette hops. High levels of carbonation will make it super refreshing. Suggested music pairing: Cream, Sunshine of your Love.

ABV: 5.0%
