Cans poured into pint glass. Respectable head. Vanilla isn’t my #1 but it’s still a pretty drinkable companion. Vanilla on nose. But not overwhelming

Draft at the brewery. Pale pastel yellow gold, persistent rising streams of carbonation.
Ok clarity, thin layer of foam with lasting arcs of lacing.

Light aroma of vanilla, smells like cream soda without the sugar, not sweet.
Dry taste with a good dose of natural vanilla flavor. Clean and light feel, finishes dry.
Crisp and light bodied, easily drinkable. Natural Vanilla taste, reminiscent of cream soda without sugar.
A good intro to craft, this seems to be very popular at the brewery for the novice crowd.

This beer was very smooth and easy to drink, but too sweet for my liking. I think I would have liked it more if it was just a cream ale, but the vanilla pushed it into being a little to sweet for my palate. It is a bright yellow in color with a strong smell of vanilla.
