On tap at Sabatinis in Exeter pa this afternoon.

Looks nice enough, almost clear golden yellow body with a persistent white head leaving scattered lacing. Good honest creamy vanilla aroma which carries over to the taste. Not getting any funnel cake flavor, which would have been nice, but a decent basic vanilla cream ale.

Nitro pour at brewery. Clear golden with a one finger creamy head. Aroma is pale malts, hint of orange and vanilla. Taste is smooth, creamy and light, bready, mild sweetness. Nitro adds really nice body

Can to pint glass. Aroma is cookie dough, vanilla, touch of grassy hops, stale college beer. Yellow color, decent white head. Feel is a Little creamy, medium low carbonation. Taste is wheat, grass, vegetable. The Aroma sells it better than the taste. Fun beer, great concept. Falls a little short of expectation though.

Had it on tap at blend with NITRO. Nitro made it Double Creamy, but the taste still is what it is.

The regular version of this beer is fantastic, but nitro puts it on a whole new level. The flavor is still the same, but the silky, creamy mouth feel and creamy head are to die for. The head tastes like a vanilla milkshake. Perhaps my favorite dessert beer.

I almost passed on this gem but thankfully a friend convinced me otherwise. The Cloverleaf has this on their summer beer list under cool things. I must say it was pretty cool. My first initial sip had a bit of pepto Bismal flavor (yuck) and I thought I made a bad mistake. After you got past the head it was a nice sweet creamy flavor. I could go for one right now

Smell- Faint Funnel Cake/ Cake Smell. The Nitro head makes for a better "creamy" smell and aroma.

Taste/Feel- The Nitro adds the "creamy" head and smooth taste of a "cake batter" feel as it trickles your sweet palate and slides smooth. The bitter cake taste hints with vanilla and then has the sweet finish of almost a "yellow cake" angel food lightness.

Look- The Nitro Head Is AWESOME, and the overall appearance and sight of it as it is amazing to see on tap

Overall- a must try and something you definitely do not want to pass by if given the chance. the original non nitro is awesome as well!!

Had on draft at the Farm and Fisherman Tavern + Market.

Very nice little smooth beer that was light, drinkable, and full of flavor. Looks like a cream soda, with a soft, nitro-pillowy foam head.

Due to the nitro, there is little to no aroma whatsoever.

Obviously, when I think funnel cake, I think greasy, oily, sweetness. This tastes like funnel cake, without being overly sweet or overly heavy. There is still some sweetness there that is perfectly paired with the smooth body of the nitro cream ale. Could also be compared to cream soda.

Reminds me of a Carton Regular Coffee but not as amazing.
