Tap. Every thing about this beer screams "cream soda". Color is a dark gold. Aroma and taste is a strong vanilla.

Just don’t dig adding vanilla on top of a cream ale. Adds sweet on sweet, but no depth; tastes like a watered-down cream soda. Pass.

Bottle: Clear golden-tan with a tall white head. Barley, vanilla aroma. Vanilla, barley malt flavour. Very light, but sort of an old-school "American Beer" feel to it, if that makes any sense. Rather enjoyable.

Bottle. Vanilla, biscuit malt, and tinny aroma. Yellow with small head. Moderately sweet vanilla, biscuit malt and mildly bitter metallic straw flavor. Okay body. Decent, light.

Can. Cloudy golden body with a fizzy white head. Anemic aroma of vanilla and toasted grain. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Thin body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Astringency in the finish with a lingering chalkiness.

Draft at beer sellar - from notes. Just like a vanilla cream soda. Cool, but not what I was expecting.

Draft at the source. Hazy golden color. Aroma of light vanilla. Taste is pure sasparilla soda. Decent.
