Tallboy from the brewery; coded 0792 and served slightly chilled.
Pours amber-bronze, taking on a fiery orange hue when held to the light; it's capped with over an inch of lumpy, foamy white head that lingers for at least five minutes. Several rings of sticky lace are deposited in its wake, with a generous collar and soapy cap remaining - looks great so far. Mild to moderate notes of vanilla extract and cupcake on the nose, with added hints of leafy hops, cake batter and caramelized malts.
Yep, it's a vanilla beer: I'm getting vanilla extract right off the bat, backed by caramelized sugars, bready malts and leafy hops, with a hint of metallicity. Vanilla extract persists into a pithy, earthy finish, lasting into a bittersweet, malty aftertaste. Light-medium in body, with assertive carbonation that imbues this flavoured pale ale with a firm, prickly bite. Knocking back one can is no problem, but multiples are out of the question - the vanilla just becomes tiresome.
Final Grade: 3.52, a tolerable B grade. Victorian Delight is somewhat lacking in subtlety. There's just not much depth being plumbed here: the base pale ale tastes fine, but the overuse of vanilla results in a lopsided, one-dimensional experience. I'm not real interested in drinking this again, but I think I'd still recommend it to people who *really* like vanilla in their beer.

Identifies as a Vanilla Pale Ale. Pours deep amber colour with a midsize head. Vanilla flavouring on the nose. The taste is certainly vanilla, perhaps too much, but it’s the natural vanilla extract it tastes like, not your candy vanilla stuff. I can still detect some citrus in the background of this beer but it is very vanilla heavy
