Bottle: Clear, dark gold with a quick white head. Rootbeer, orange aroma. Taste is like a diet root beer with a dash of orange cream and vanilla. Actually rather pleasant....it’s mild enough not to be a huge, sticky sassafras bomb.

Pours clear orangeish brown, a few bubbles for a head, no lacing. Smells like cream soda and root beer. Taste of mild root beer, sweet and mild orange
To sweet to have another

Labels on beer are so misleading. This beer too. You’d think there would be some orange in this? Well, forget about that, this is simply a cream soda with rootbeer attributes that is laced, perhaps, with a little alky. You see ale and orange on the label? None in thar. Go figger. Reminds me a lot of the fad wave of those stupid rootbeer soda pop malt beverages that are so popular now. Yuk, disappointing happy BS.

12 ounce bottle into Sam Adams pint glass, best before 9/2016. Pours crystal clear golden orange color with a 1 finger foamy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a large amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big orange, vanilla, cream, honey, brown sugar, cola, mint, and herbal/woody earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance of orange, vanilla, spice, and malt sweetness; with good strength. Taste of big orange, vanilla, cream, honey, brown sugar, cola, mint, and herbal/woody earthiness. Minimal spice bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of orange, vanilla, cream, honey, brown sugar, cola, mint, and herbal/woody earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of orange, vanilla, spice, and malt sweetness; with zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, crisp, and moderately creamy/slick mouthfeel that is nice. Zero alcohol warming as expected of 5%. Overall this is a very nice orange/vanilla cream ale. All around good robustness and balance of orange, vanilla, spice, and malt sweetness; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
