It's a pretty sweet tasting beer. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes sweet tasting beer. At first I thought it tasted it really weird. Then I liked it after a while. It's an interesting beer.

I've been spoiled by local Carton's Coffee Cream Ale series, but this Funnel Cake is fun and original, though to sweet with too many additives for me.
a) yellow color with short head. little last or lace develops.
s) mom's spice drawer with emphasis on baking: vanilla, sugar, pepper.
t) Follows that spicey direction but on a sweet cake like background.
f) I like the finish, as the over-sweet gets pulled back by the pepper in an original see-saw way.
o) Too much vanilla and sugar for more than a half beer for me

It seemed to be true to what it said it was. It just fell a little short. Maybe if there was more vanilla and malt it would have accomplished its goal

Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a ruddy burnt yellow to orange color with just a skim of head at the top. Dissipated super quick. No lace. The aroma was sweet corn, sweet biscuits, vanilla extract, lactose and a little bit of lemon sweetness. The flavor was super sweet with a super clean aftertaste and finish. The palate was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine. Overall, decent as one of those "Americanized cream ales." Perhaps, I might give it another shot.

4/10/17...pours pale gold, very clear, fast settling white foam that vanishes. Pale scent, milky. Vanilla hints. Strong vanilla bean flavor. Creamy mouthfeel. Quite smooth. Crazy creative.
