Not at all what I expected. This coffee vanilla cream L is light in color similar to a clean IPA. The nose is like cold pressed coffee. The taste is hinting at sweet although the coffee flavor comes through just not astringeny. Very well done

Light feel with coffee and a bit of vanilla. Watery and easy to drink, but a bit hollow.

Look - clear yellow with a nice white htea
Smell and taste - coffee creamy vanilla slight grainy. Seems like a lot of adjuncts
Feel - light creamy
Overall - not what I was expecting, to much to it. I was expecting it to be easy going

Poured into a pint glass from a 12-oz can about 4 months after its canning date.

Look: Yellow-gold, with a 1” head that dissipated slowly, leaving nice lacing.

Nose: Floral, vanilla, a bit of stone fruit.

Mouthfeel: Medium, sufficient carbonation.

Attack: Follows the nose, with a bit of coffee.

Finish: The coffee bitterness and a bit of hop bitterness come through.

Overall: A pretty good cream ale — I’m suspecting based on the other reviews that a fresher sample might have a little better flavor, and I’ll update this in the future when I get a fresher can.

This definitely held up well being exactly what it claims to be. Definitly would have again if I wanted coffee in a more unusual context

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a dark golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of coffee, little else. Taste is also dominated by coffee, light malts are present. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a decent beer. However, it's not what I expect from this style.
