With hints of caramel in the nose and a touch of spice, this slightly sweet, malty session ale is conditioned with nitrogen to impart a smooth, creamy texture and the classic “cascading effect” leading to a silky finish. With its unique flavor profile, it has become affectionately known as the “cream soda for adults”.

Bottled. Kind of strange, poured an orangey brown, had a bit of a malt and caramel but also some spice. Not great but pretty interesting.

12oz can poured into a shaker. Pours a clear dark amber with about a finger and a half of thick white head. Aroma is light caramel malt and light grains. Taste is light sweet. Caramel and vanilla. Light bodied with a thin texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, not bad. Definitely a good beer for drinking outside on a hot day. A refreshing lighter beer that actually has some flavor.

(on tap) Clear coppery mahogany with slight white head. Aroma is candy with subtle stone fruit and floral notes. Medium bodied, well carbonated with good mouthfeel: smooth and with a bit of interesting fizz. Unusual taste - there’s a lot of cream soda in there - also candy and sweetish malt with very little bitterness. Despite all these sweet flavours it is not oversweet or cloying. Overall this is an unusual, maybe even clever, beer that is easy to drink.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a shaker. Pours translucent copper with small off-white head. Very little lacing, medium carbonation, medium body, creamy texture, and sweet aroma. Taste is caramel malt, doughy, some honey, and finishes cream.

12 oz can purchased at Lukas in Overland Park, Kansas. Pour is a lightly hazed ruby brown copper with a crackly one inch off white head. The aroma is brown sugar and nutty malt, along with a mild vanilla. The taste is the sweet malt, the vanilla is more pronounced - in fact, this reminds me a lot of cream soda. Behind the sweetness is some floral and grainy malt, which helps soften up the sweet some. The palate is medium bodied, a bit mouth coating, finishes clean. Overall, decent beer.

Bottled. Copper coloured with a mediumsized off-white creamy head. Aroma is toffee, sweet malts as well as some mild floral hoppyness. Flavour is rather similar with some bready notes. Warming up it also gets some honeyish notes as well.

Hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma of citrus, peach and tangerine, though a bit dusty. Sweet and fruity flavour, easy drinking

On tap at The Porch in Hayden, ID. Aroma is caramel malt and metal, but subdued. Pours copper with a medium fluffy head that dissipates pretty quick and leaves some decorative lace. Tastes fruity, creamy, like a blueberry crepe. Grainy. Medium to full body, highly carbonated. Refreshing and different for a summer quaffer.
