Can: Pours clear, golden-amber with a minimal off-white head. Vanilla cola aroma. Taste is hideously sweet vanilla....and strangely, almost a barrel-aged alcohol note....in lieu of any actual "ALE" flavours..... Not pleasant.

Can. Vanilla caramel malt aroma. Golden yellow with moderate but short lasting head and moderate effervescence. Cloyingly sweet vanilla caramel flavor. Okay body. Mediocre both as a beer and a cream ale. These have to die soon - you're much better off pouring vodka in a regular soda.

Clear gold color with no head, retention or lacing. High carbonation. Looks and tastes like a soda. Sticky sweet vanilla forward flavor with a faint bourbon finish. Not quite smooth. Alco-pop. Not really beer. My least favorite of these best damn sodas.

Golden in color with no head or lace, that was the appearance. Aroma was more like vanilla sweet extract. If that was vanilla bean, then I am Mickey Mouse. Flavor was overly sweet through the vanilla extract and somewhat like coconut cake. Aftertaste was coconut cake and vanilla extract. Finish was syrupy sweet. Palate was light bodied with no sort of sessionability in sight due to the syrupy cloying aspect. Really don’t want to give an overall comment on this. My numbers speak for themselves. Do you have your big boy pants on AB? Strap ’em on, if you don’t, you’re in for a ride now.
