Had on tap at the brewery. Pours clear, gold in color with 1/4 inch head. Taste is big vanilla, bread, and honey. Sweet, light bodied with moderate carbonation. If I was ever going to drive for a Cream Ale this would be it. Great marriage of vanilla and beer taste. Very well balanced. Would get this again. Of all the beers I had at the brewery this is easily my favorite.

Draft at the brewery
Light fizzy creamy head, little lacing, hazy pale color
Nose plenty of raw vanilla, a little corn like mash malt wheat and doughy malt
Taste plenty of vanilla, tons of vanilla, a mild doughy creamy base malt, maybe corn can't tell, dry back end and gritty mild spicy hop bitterness
Mouth is med to lighter bod, decent carb, a bit creamy but not to much
Overall not bad, vanilla kind of overpowers the cream ale, but there are some flashes of it, and vanilla is nice

Tastes good but seems way over carbonated for a cream ale to me. It takes away from the smoothness and creaminess. Strong vanilla and a nice base but wouldn’t rush back to
