Candy Corn Scream Ale
Nine-Band Brewing Company

 

Pour us copper. Somewhat creamy appearance, not much head.
Smell is actually nice...more cotton-candyish than anything.
Taste follows the nose, although I get that candy corn now, the coating of a candy corn, and cream soda/ vanilla flavor for sure.
Feels very creamy and medium-light.
I kind of enjoyed this one. Definitely a cream soda type of cream ale, on the sweet side but nothing too overdone.

 

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a slightly hazed red-orange color with a tiny fizzy white head that fades almost instantly to leave a touch of foam on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is of a candy corn smell with some vanilla and crème as well as a sugary sweet smell of corn syrup and honey. Along with these aromas comes a little bit of a molasses and biscuit malt.
Taste – The taste begins with a corn syrup sweet and bready flavor that has a little bit of honey, crème, and caramel. As the taste advances there flavors remain quite strong and are joined by other tastes of a light vanilla and grain. Toward the end a touch of earth and herb and a surge of the honey come to the tongue to leave one with a sweet and slightly toasted crème ale taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is medium in thickness and creaminess with a carbonation level that is rather average. For the crème ale style and the sweeter taste the feel is awesome and makes for a nice easy drinker.
Overall – While it doesn’t taste just like candy corn, the smell is spot on and the taste does have notes of candy corn sweetness. And while not super heavy in the candy corn taste, the overall taste is quite pleasant and makes this crème ale a nice fall sipper.

Huge vanilla punch to the face, followed by a candy sweet finish.
