On tap. Pours golden with white head. Body is light and slightly crisp. Taste and aroma is of spoiled juice. Something wrong with this brew.

Thanks to FrankenMiller Rec'd in NBS BIF #12
Clear amber color pushes a rich off-white head that starts out dense and settles to a nice half finger high cap. Pretty solid retention.
Smells mildly sweet with caramel and toasted vanilla.
Taste follows smell pretty faithfully. The caramel sweetness also brings forth a sweet corn note. A mild herbal hop note can be detected as well.
Clean, sweetness tapers off with a slightly drying finish. Good carbonation.
Overall, fairly straightforward.

On tap aboard my cruise ship.
Clear amber color, small white head.
Not much aroma. Sweet malt, a little vanilla.
Taste follows the nose. Caramel, a little vanilla.
Light-bodied and easy drinking.

Out of a can, popping the top I get a waft of vanilla and caramel. Pours to a caramel brown with a thin head that disappears. Taste is nice thick mouthfeel, lots of vanilla on the front end, transitioning to zest, then a caramel finish that is flatly bitter. Good for what it is. In my opinion a dessert beer as the sweetness is alot to tolerate.

There is a canned on the bottom of the can which let's me know that I'm drinking this beer at 1 month old. The pour is light brown probably due to the caramel malts, it's well carbonated. On the taste im definitely getting the caramel & some sweetness from the vanilla beans, mild toffee, a little bit of roasted malts. This is quite different from the cream ales that I've had in the past, the taste reminds me of a lighter nuttier type of brown ale. This beer is too sweet & roasted tasting for the style. All in all, when I want to try a cream ale I want a cream ale not a beer that is try to copy another style of beer Cheers! B-

Crystal clear dark amber body. Nice frothy cream colored head.
Toasty caramel notes on the nose, balanced by light citrus and floral hops.
Smooth and toasty on the palate. Brown sugar, caramel grains, cream, and a nice, restrained kick of vanilla on the second half. Not overly sweet.
Lively but very smooth on the palate.
This is a surprisingly pleasant beer; very nice overall.

On-tap at City Works, Doral, FL
A: The beer is crystal clear amber in color and has a slight amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a short off white head that left a large patch of bubbles on the surface and a collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Faint aromas of caramel are present in the nose.
T: The beer tastes just like a cream soda and has a little sweetness from the caramel and other cream soda flavors.
M: It feels medium-bodied and quite smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is like drinking an adult version of a cream soda, although it isn't nearly as sweet as pop.
Serving type: on-tap
