On tap at Wolf's Ridge, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of coffee, vanilla and lactose. Flavour is pleasantly sweet, with subdued, heavily sweetened coffee, gentle lactose, and a touch of vanilla. Pretty solid flavoured coffee vanilla ale. A cream ale? Whatever it is, it's decent.

12 oz. Aroma has notes of coffee, vanilla, earth, nuts. Pours hazy golden with a small off-white head that falls into a ring quickly. Taste is slightly sweet, faintly tart, finishing very dry, with coffee and vanilla flavors.

12 oz. can. Born on 10 Nov 2020. Aroma is bold coffee with vanilla. The flavor pulls off the ice coffee character. Coffee, cream, vanilla, and light bitterness. Not a novelty at all. I could drink this with my eggs and bacon in the morning. It works!

Can (11/10/20) pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! A clear, highlighter yellow with light, lazy sparkle, thin cap of white head that fades quickly to a ring and no lacing. Smell is strong roasted coffee, vanilla and cocoa. Taste follows aroma along with background crackers. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, average-to-lively carbonation and finish as taste with mild roasted bitterness. Overall, I'm a sucker for these coffee-flavored blonds so I'm digging it. A tad over carbonated. Wonderful balance of sweet and bitter coffee. I like it.

12 oz bottle from Tavour, 6/11/20. Pours a mostly clear yellowish color, white head, mild lace. Tons of coffee on the aroma and flavor. Cream and a little sugar as well, but the coffee is the dominant thing here. This is pretty damn good. I know these golden colored coffee beers are more popular these days, but damn if the good ones don't always hearken me back to Carton's Regular Coffee, and to me, this feels like a sessionable version of that.

Was hoping for a decent cream ale, friendly and gentle. This stuff is big bold coffee. Should be in teh spiced veggie cat. Stronger impressive high alky feel without the ABV. Weird, close meh eyes and think mild coffee stout. Pretty good carbonation but we have thing bitter roasted cold coffee thing for a finish. Single sided. Coffee is barely perceivable on the nose. Color is simple pale yellow.

Keg at Man in The Moon, Stockholm. Clear golden, small head. Rich aroma of quality coffee. Mid sweet with light-medium body and well rounded mouthfeel. Firm, yet light and soft malt. Lightly grainy and spicy with lots of coffee, some vanilla. Mid bitter finish. Really well made beer, but coffee being this dominant it should be classified a S/H/V here.

Tap at Man in The Moon. Clear yellow with a white head. Aroma of ground coffee, cream and light roast. Almost a bit like the espresso chocolate you get in Merci-packs. Taste follows with some vanilla too. A bit sweetish and thin, but overall quite enjoyable. Holds up coffee well.
