Remember Pink Cream Soda🥤? Well, we set out to make it in beer-form. The trick in doing so is to use an obscene amount of vanilla. Seriously. This thing has more vanilla inside of it than the Trump White House. And then, the raspberries show up and BOOM 💥 it’s Cream Soda Time. This is not an IPA, not at all, and it has no place being categorized as any specific beer style, out of respect to beer in general. But, if you want a tall glass of Cream Soda, a laugh, about 54 cents worth of vanilla per can, and a little bit of giddy joy in your life, then that, my friend, is exactly what we’re selling.

(First brewed at Strathcona, then as of Mar 2021 at Superflux; ABV was 6%; the Oct 2021 batch is 5%)

Nice red body and good foam. Good chewy fruit aroma, cherries maybe, raspberries too. Taste is very much cream soda, sugary with cotton candy notes. Ends a little thinner than I'd hope but otherwise delivers the concept in spades.

Poured from the tap. Red with small pink-ish white head. Lots of vanilla with underlying raspberry. Cream soda. Insanely gimmicky, but successfully done.

473mL can, pours a cloudy dark reddish pink with a small white head. Nose is rather absurd, with shitloads of vanilla upfront, followed by sweet raspberry - yep, smells like cream soda. Flavour brings out obscene amounts of vanilla, with plenty of raspberry. Very cream soda-like. I hate this less than I thought I would. It's not good, but I can drink it.

Pink, smells like cream soda...and that’s why I’ve been avoiding this. Tastes the same. Mega vanilla, and raspberry... yeah very much not my thing. Not that they didn’t nail it but yuck.

Can from Legacy LRS, Vancouver
Turbid red colour. Vanilla and berries, this is like some kind of smoothie - candy crossover, surely it gives what it promises, which is a joke more than a beer.
Ok.

16oz at Alex's shared with Andrey. Appearance: nice murky purple with a slightly rose head. Aroma: fruity candies, a bit artificial. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: ok as a joke beer.

Exactly as described. Smells and tastes like Cream Soda. Although well done, it is another beer that has no point.
