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”.

12 oz. bottle from WIne Warehouse in Charlottesville. Deep red pour with a medium head. Low retention and lacing. Grainy, cereal like aroma with mild caramel notes. Taste is uber-grainy with notes of grain, cereal and caramel. Slightly toasty. Medium body. Overall tasty.

Pours a clear copper body with a small quickly leaving white head. Aroma is sweet, a bit fruity with caramel and butter. Taste is light and a bit corn like with some iced tea. No after taste. Dry with light bubbles.

Pours with a white semi-thcik head. and a coppery brown color. Very light aroma that is barely detectable. Malty taste. It is a little sweet. Not complex at all, but as such it makes for a good session beer.

Bottle Poured deep copper with thin white head. Faing malt aroma. Flavour of cream soda, a little malt and more cream soda. Finish like a little malt and more cream soda. I wonder if this could be mixed with ouzo to make a Rhodesian sewage, but it is not outstanding as a beer.

(Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm) Copper colour with firm off-white head. Malty nose with sourish notes of wheat, milk chocolate, cocoa and fresh figs. Malty taste with chocolate and berries (cherries, blueberries). Not very bitter, balanced sweetness. Creamy mouthfeel with distinct notes of blueberries with milk in the finish. Good balance. A bit different, but quite nice beer.

Golden, lasting white head. Vanilla aroma. Flavor is a mix of light malts, vanilla, maybe hazelnut?

Aroma of fruit and vanilla? Deep amber color with ruby hilites; frothy white head that tried to lace on the rapid way to oblivion. Starts with vanilla. Very creamy. Then stone fruit. Malt and hop seem quite balanced, but the vanilla spice note tends to dominate.

Pop the lid of this 12 oz bottle and you get an almost fruity slightly regurgitated aroma, rather odd and anxious. Pour it into the glass and it is reddish brown orange and no head. Taste is a little fruity and not a whole lotta bitterness. This brew is pretty likable, at first I thought I was going to get a bitter impact but that never developed. This stuff is relatively smooth and well behaved. Easy to drink and well, for lack of words, nice. Very friendly after a few sips. Finish is non offensive and almost totally enjoyable. A well mannered beer. Yes, comes across very creamy, I like this. Much better than Oskar Blues Money Shot Cream Ale and just a little better than Genesee Cream Ale. End result is happy, would not hesitate to buy again. Lovely and different.
