A perfect blend of vanilla and bourbon notes make this cream ale irresistible. Kentucky Vanilla Barrel Cream Ale is our take on a classic American style of beer.

We took a cold-conditioned cream ale, brewed with a hint of flaked corn and bourbon vanilla beans, and aged it in freshly decanted bourbon barrels for at least six weeks. Kentucky Vanilla Barrel Cream Ale's medium body and 5.5 percent alcohol by volume (ABV) make it the perfect barrel-aged beer for an all-day event.

330ml can at EDP November 2022, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy medium amber colour with mostly lasting frothy white head and some clingy lace. The aroma is subtle vanilla and well, er’ perhaps not so subtle vanilla! The flavour is moderate sweet, with a smooth, malt, earthy, sweet vanilla palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

Beautiful Amber gold pour. Thick creamy foam. Easy carbonation. Sweet vanilla cookie/ cream soda flavor with vanilla finish. Very delicious!! Tastes like old fashioned cream sodas.

Pours clear amber with a thick white head. Aroma of French vanilla. Taste has vanilla with subtle sweetened malt and light hop notes. Palate has vanilla on the nose and lingering on the tongue. Novel, interesting.

Bottle. Lightly hazy, light amber body. Frothy white head. String aroma of artificial vanilla, cotton candy, light wood, toasted grain, cheap scented candle. Sweet from start to finish. Medium body, syrupy texture, lively carbonation. Can’t see drinking more than 6 ounces of this overly sweet, artificial tasting beer. Drain pour.
