12 oz. can from Total Wine, Union, NJ. Pours a clear gold color with a white head and good retention. Spotty lacing. Sweet pale malt aroma. Sweet pale malt flavor too with some honey and vanilla in the finish. Not as grainy as most cream ales. Crisp mouthfeel. Smooth and clean. Medium-light body. Not bitter. I like it, but I also think it might get old fast.

Nitro pour at brewery. Clear golden with a one finger creamy head. Aroma is pale malts, hint of orange and vanilla. Taste is smooth, creamy and light, bready, mild sweetness. Nitro adds really nice body

Draught at Wingcraft, 8/18/21.
Good clarity in this strongly brassy-golden beer. White head is small, but pretty dense and well-retained.
Soft vanilla and honey-like sweetness with a warm, brown sugar porridge character. Leafy/floral bitterness is light and the nose is clean and free of alcohol.
Sweet and round in the mouth with an almost thick, malty texture that certainly has a creaminess to it. Vanilla is not overdone, though I think the beer as a whole could benefit from a little more dryness or balancing hop bitterness. As it is, however, it's well-executed and clean for what it is, albeit very simple.

Deep golden, copper and even bronze coloured body with a thinnish pure white head that fades fairly quickly. Aroma of pale, biscuity malt, grass, lactose, caster sugar, grain and finishing with a very funky 'smelly feet' stink - wierd, but potent, in a bad way! Light-bodied; Deep robust malt notes dominate with some soft sweetness from the lactose and caster sugar, with a deep bitterness and a light nutty and earthy finish, but rounded out by the more noticeable yeast and lightly bready flavours toward the end, and the ever-present sweetness. Aftertaste is soft and balanced with malt and sugars, with a dry profile and nice understated earthy bite, but fairly easy-drinking and flavourful for the style. Overall, a nice cream ale with a good look and balanced flavour, unfortunately the style isn't the hippest, but it was solid and definitely worth trying to find if you like creams - just be prepared for the funky smell. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 23-June-2019 for US$1,99 sampled at home in Washington on 12-November-2019.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. Bright white head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Caramel and butterscotch aromas. Soft butterscotch and caramel upfront turning to sourdough and pumpernickel in the bitter finish.

Sampled from a 12 oz can this beer poured a hazy very bright yellow color with an enormous foamy yellow-white head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was sweetish with cake icing and a touch of yeast. The flavor was bitterish with notes of cake, icing, yeast and a faint medicinal note. Medium length finish. Medium body. Meh.

Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a ruddy burnt yellow to orange color with just a skim of head at the top. Dissipated super quick. No lace.
The aroma was sweet corn, sweet biscuits, vanilla extract, lactose and a little bit of lemon sweetness.
The flavor was super sweet with a super clean aftertaste and finish.
The palate was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine.
Overall, decent as one of those \"Americanized cream ales.\" Perhaps, I might give it another shot.

Poured from can thanks Airforcehops light golden color with a thin white head. Aromas of vanilla sugar grain. Taste is slightly sweet creamy mouth feel vanilla grain and a mild bitterness. Does somewhat remind you of a funnel cake.
